\begin{Description}\relax
Some convenience functions for getting a connection object to (or collecting
information about) the package annotation DB.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
  lumiMouseIDMapping_dbconn()
  lumiMouseIDMapping_dbfile()
  lumiMouseIDMapping_dbInfo()
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Details}\relax
\code{lumiMouseIDMapping\_dbconn} returns a connection object to the package
annotation DB.
IMPORTANT: Don't call \code{\LinkA{dbDisconnect}{dbDisconnect}} on the connection
object returned by \code{lumiMouseIDMapping\_dbconn} or you will
break all the \code{\LinkA{AnnDbObj}{AnnDbObj}} objects defined in this package!

\code{lumiMouseIDMapping\_dbfile} returns the path (character string) to the
package annotation DB (this is an SQLite file).

\code{lumiMouseIDMapping\_dbInfo} prints other information about the package
annotation DB.
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
\code{lumiMouseIDMapping\_dbconn}: a DBIConnection object representing an open
connection to the package annotation DB.

\code{lumiMouseIDMapping\_dbfile}: a character string with the path to the
package annotation DB.

\code{lumiMouseIDMapping\_dbInfo}: none (invisible \code{NULL}).
\end{Value}
\begin{SeeAlso}\relax
\code{\LinkA{dbConnect}{dbConnect}}

\begin{Examples}
\begin{ExampleCode}
  ## Show the database information (meta data)
  lumiMouseIDMapping_dbInfo()  

  ## List the tables included in the database
  conn <- lumiMouseIDMapping_dbconn()
  dbListTables(conn)
\end{ExampleCode}
