Creates the BIANA database in the mysql server

"dbname": Desired database name. It must not exist a database with the same name in the same database server (required)

"dbhost" is the machine with the mysql server that holds the biana database (required)

"dbuser" is the mysql user (not required in most systems)

"dbpassword" is the mysql password (not required in most systems)

"dbport" is the mysql port (not required in most systems)

In order to make parsers faster, it creates tables without indices and addicional checkings. Biana automatically enable indices when necessary. If user wants to enable indices manually, it is necessary to use the method "enable_indices"

Creates a new unification protocol

"unification_protocol_name" is the name of the unification protocol (it can be a string). It cannot contain blank spaces. It must be unique (required)

"listUnifiationAtomElements" is a list of tuples. Each tuple consists on two elements: the list of database to cross and the list of attributes as for example [([1,2],["uniprotAccession"]),([1],["geneSymbol"])]

"dbname": Biana database name

"dbhost" is the machine with the mysql server that holds the biana database (required)

"dbuser" is the mysql user (not required in most systems)

"dbpassword" is the mysql password (not required in most systems)

"dbport" is the mysql port (not required in most systems)

Deletes the specified BIANA database.

ALERT!!! This action is not reversible! All data in BIANA database will be deleted permanently!
