'sequence' table?

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/09/17]

Is it possible to have a table called 'sequence'?

I work with proteins, so sequence is kind of an important concept in the 
problem domain :)  I'm using Maypole, so I want/need the table name to 
be determined by the GUI requirements.

When I use a database with a 'sequence'table, I see the following error:

   Column 'sequence' in QD1::Entry clashes with built-in method at
   /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1/Class/DBI/Loader/mysql.pm line 24

This is caused by error checking in Class::DBI because it has a method 
called 'sequence'. I believe I don't need the method because I'm using 
mysql. Is it possible to dispense with the method so I can use the name?

Thanks and regards,
