_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

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

_U_s_a_g_e:

       GO_dbconn()
       GO_dbfile()
       GO_dbschema(file="", show.indices=FALSE)
       GO_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:

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

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

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

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

_V_a_l_u_e:

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

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

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

     'GO_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 "go_term" table:
       dbGetQuery(GO_dbconn(), "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM go_term")

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

       GO_dbschema()

       GO_dbInfo()
