This is the top level class for Connect the Dots. At present, it mainly provides methods for running queries.
Connect the Dots is a general data integration framework targeted at translating biological identifiers across multiple transitive databases. This software provides an alternative to writing custom parsers to join databases on common identifiers. See the example queries for details on the scope of database joins that can be made.

This software is built upon the PostgreSQL database system (developed with version 7.4.3) as support for full outer joins is strong.
