Hi Syed,

I need few more details.

Can you tell me how does a DB identify that it is supposed to be linked to a 
particular Database, when we use importables.

As far I see I have given the all DB name only in the registry file. I have not 
defined anything in importables.
So from where does the Biomart system recognize that a particular importable is 
linked to particular exportable.

Thanks.
-Bala

Hi Bala,

The exportable and importable operate on database columns having common
identifiers. The matching is done on the fly (in memory operation) to
link the two columns that have common values across two datasets.

Hope that helps.

Best,
Syed
