NAME

Bio::DB::Query::QueryResultI - DESCRIPTION of Interface

SYNOPSIS

Give standard usage here

DESCRIPTION

This outlines the basic interface for a query result that returns objects, not rows. Basically, it is a stream of objects, similarly in spirit to the other Bioperl streaming interfaces like, e.g., Bio::SeqIO.

There is no specific notion here of a schema or database.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

next_object

Title   : next_object
Usage   :
Function: Obtain the next object from the result stream and return it.
Example :
Returns : A Bioperl object (implementing at least Bio::Root::RootI)
Args    : none

each_Object

Title   : each_Object
Usage   :
Function: This is primarily a convenience method and in most implementations
          will just loop over next_object() and return an array of all
          objects.
Example :
Returns : A reference to an array of objects.
Args    : Optionally, an anonymous function for filtering objects. If given,
          the function is passed one argument, the object to evaluate.
          The object will be included in the returned array if the function
          returns TRUE, and rejected otherwise.

finish

Title   : finish
Usage   :
Function: Indicate being finished with this result so that possibly used
          system resources can be released.
Example :
Returns : none
Args    : none
