## org.biojavax.bio.db
Interface RichSequenceDB

All Superinterfaces:
  BioEntryDB, BioEntryDBLite, Changeable, RichSequenceDBLite, SequenceDB, SequenceDBLite

All Known Implementing Classes:
  AbstractRichSequenceDB, BioSQLRichSequenceDB, GenbankRichSequenceDB, GenpeptRichSequenceDB, HashRichSequenceDB

    public interface RichSequenceDB

extends SequenceDB, BioEntryDB, RichSequenceDBLite

A database of RichSequences with accessible keys and iterators over all sequences.

This may have several implementations with rich behaviour, but basically most of the time you will just use the interface methods to do stuff. A sequence database contains a finite number of sequences stored under unique keys.

  1.5

  Specified by:
    `sequenceIterator` in interface `SequenceDB`
  Returns:
    a SequenceIterator over all sequences

### getRichSequenceIterator

    RichSequenceIterator getRichSequenceIterator()

  Returns a RichSequenceIterator over all sequences in the database. The order of retrieval is undefined.

  Returns:
    a RichSequenceIterator over all sequences
