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.

the importable and exportable refers to filters and attributes respectively. Filters and attributes map on to database columns, hence the values that are returned from these columns are matched against each other results in overlapping results only. thats all really.

hope that helps.

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.

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

Hi Biomart team,

I am currently working with the exportable&   Importables. It is working nicely 
with my local mart and remote Ensembl mart.I was curious to know as to how the 
marts are getting linked (Techincally).

Could you throw some techincal insight into this please.

Thanks.

Best regards,
