     Some convenience functions for getting a connection object to (or
     collecting information about) the package annotation DB.

_U_s_a_g_e:

       mu11ksubb_dbconn()
       mu11ksubb_dbfile()
       mu11ksubb_dbschema(file="", show.indices=FALSE)
       mu11ksubb_dbInfo()

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    file: A connection, or a character string naming the file to print
          to (see the 'file' argument of the 'cat' function for the
          details). 

show.indices: The CREATE INDEX statements are not shown by default. Use
          'show.indices=TRUE' to get them. 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     'mu11ksubb_dbconn' returns a connection object to the package
     annotation DB. IMPORTANT: Don't call 'dbDisconnect' on the
     connection object returned by 'mu11ksubb_dbconn' or you will break
     all the 'AnnDbObj' objects defined in this package!

     'mu11ksubb_dbfile' returns the path (character string) to the
     package annotation DB (this is an SQLite file).

     'mu11ksubb_dbschema' prints the schema definition of the package
     annotation DB.

     'mu11ksubb_dbInfo' prints other information about the package
     annotation DB.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     'mu11ksubb_dbconn': a DBIConnection object representing an open
     connection to the package annotation DB.

     'mu11ksubb_dbfile': a character string with the path to the
     package annotation DB.

     'mu11ksubb_dbschema': none (invisible 'NULL').

     'mu11ksubb_dbInfo': none (invisible 'NULL').

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'dbGetQuery', 'dbConnect', 'dbconn', 'dbfile', 'dbschema',
     'dbInfo'

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

       ## Count the number of rows in the "probes" table:
       dbGetQuery(mu11ksubb_dbconn(), "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM probes")

       ## The connection object returned by mu11ksubb_dbconn() was created with:
       dbConnect(SQLite(), dbname=mu11ksubb_dbfile(), cache_size=64000, synchronous=0)

       mu11ksubb_dbschema()

       mu11ksubb_dbInfo()
