Bio::DB::DBAdaptorI - DESCRIPTION of Interface
Give standard usage here
This interface describes the basic datastore adaptor that acts as a factory.
It allows one to obtain adaptors for specific classes or objects, as well as objects that make a class or object peristent.
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : get_object_adaptor
Usage : $objadp = $adaptor->get_object_adaptor("Bio::SeqI");
Function: Obtain an PersistenceAdaptorI compliant object for the given class
or object.
Example :
Returns : The appropriate object adaptor, a Bio::DB::PersistenceAdaptorI
implementing object.
Args : The class (a string) or object for which the adaptor is to be
obtained. Optionally, a DBContextI implementing object to initialize
the adaptor with.
Title : create_persistent
Usage : $dbadaptor->create_persistent($obj)
Function: Creates a PersistentObjectI implementing object that adapts the
given object to the datastore.
Example :
Returns : A Bio::DB::PeristentObjectI implementing object
Args : An object of a type that can be stored in the datastore adapted
by this factory. Alternatively, the class name of such an object.
All remaining arguments should be passed to the constructor of the
class if the first argument is a class name.
