Store a copy of our mapping database
Over the years we have picked up an interesting set of transcript mappings, including mappings for transcripts no longer available from major database sources. When setting up a new server (or restoring a crashed one...), we always take care to not start from scratch, but instead use this existing mapping database.
Perhaps we should (and/or):
- Make our mapping database available as a download
- Automate creating this download
- Automate importing this download
Should this be a raw SQL dump? Then it's not database agnostic. Should we invent our own format? Just simple CSV?
