Talk:Custom track database

Progress Report
- 2006-05-12 Have basic system in place. Can load up bed types 3 through 12 into database and hgTracks can display them. Existing system remains in place. Have fixed the itemRgb business when more than 9 columns. hgLoadBed needs to make a temp file with a name of something other than bed.tab since more than one instance may be running at the same time. Need to figure out how to delete db tables older than N hours. Looking at hgTables code, doesn't appear to be too much confusion in there. The loading appears to be isolated to routines in custom.c, In fact it appears to be trivial and is in a single location. Function has been added to the table browser.
