Bio::D...ailover(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so Bio::DB::Failover is literally a Bio::DB::RandomAccessI-compliant class that wraps a whole prioritized list of DBs 💅 like it's the friend who knows a guy who knows a guy. it's from the perl docs, user-contributed, and bestie, it's giving backup-plan energy 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

$failover = Bio::DB::Failover->new();

$failover->add_database($db);

# fail over Bio::DB::RandomAccessI.pm

# this will check each database in priority, returning when
# the first one succeeds

$seq = $failover->get_Seq_by_id($id);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This module provides fail over access to a set of Bio::DB::RandomAccessI objects. no cap — it's the group chat of databases and somebody's always gonna answer 🔥

💌 Support 💌

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

(ok so fr fr: ask the group chat first, not the one main character dev. the collective brain cell is stronger 💀 and pls bring receipts — code and data examples, the whole vibe check.)

lowkey the whole point: check each database in priority, return when the first one succeeds. first one to text back wins 🫶

ok that's the page bestie, periodt 💅✨ this was perl v5.32.1, dated 2021-08-15, and yeah the manual name got folded up top like a cute lil hair clip 🎀 mwah, go read your sequences 👑
