💖 DBSHOWQUERY — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to DBSHOWQUERY(1e), straight out of the EMBOSS Manual for Debian 🌸. sit down, grab a boba, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

dbshowquery — shows you the possible database queries that use a given data identifier 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

dbshowquery -identifier string -database string -datatype string
            [-outfile outfile] [-html boolean]

dbshowquery -help

literally the whole vibe in six lines. iconic. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so dbshowquery is a command line program from EMBOSS, aka "the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite". no cap, that's the whole government name 🫶.

it's part of the "Information" command group(s). that's it, that's the description, she's brief and she's booked. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

💜 Input section

  • -identifier string — bestie this is a data identifier (think: a sequence accession number, the classic) that you use to say exactly which data — of type datatype — you wanna retrieve. if you're sitting there unsure which data identifier(s) get used for a given query (that's a database/datatype combo, iykyk), go run dbtellquery. the types of data identifier are listed under the 'Data identifier' branch of the EDAM ontology (http://edamontology.sourceforge.net/). want example values? check the catalogue of public databases in the EMBOSS data file DRCAT.dat. and if you've got a data identifier but genuinely don't know its type, use idtell 🙈.

✨ Required section

(no options listed here, she's empty, moving on 🧚)

🌸 Additional section

(also empty. nothing to see. carry on. 💀)

🔥 Advanced section

  • -database string — this is the name of a database</b> from the catalogue of public databases in the EMBOSS data file DRCAT.dat. unsure which databases even exist? drfind is your girl. got a database name but you're not sure it's valid? isdbname, bestie 🫶.
  • -datatype string — this is the name of a retrievable datatype</b> from that same catalogue of public databases in the EMBOSS data file DRCAT.dat. the names are terms from the 'data' branch of the EDAM ontology, http://edamontology.sourceforge.net/. unsure which retrievable datatypes exist for a given database? dbtellquery. got a datatype name but not sure it's valid? isdbdata 💅.

🍓 Output section

  • -outfile outfile — Default value: stdout

👑 Html section

  • -html boolean — if you're sending the output to a file, this formats it all cute for displaying as a table in a WWW document. Default value: N
