14
15 Bio::Search::DatabaseI - Interface for a database used in a sequence search
16
17 =head1 SYNOPSIS
18
19 Bio::Search::DatabaseI objects should not be instantiated since this
20 module defines a pure interface.
21
22 Given an object that implements the Bio::Search::DatabaseI interface,
23 you can do the following things with it:
24
25 $name = $db->name();
26
27 $date = $db->date();
28
29 $num_letters = $db->letters();
30
31 $num_entries = $db->entries();
32
33 =head1 DESCRIPTION
34
35 This module defines methods for an object that provides metadata
36 information about a database used for sequence searching.
