I am having problems getting makeOrgPackageFromNCBI to complete. Note that this downloads about 12Gb of data from the NCBI. There is an SQL error when uploading/parsing the GO terms.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the code I run:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("AnnotationForge")
BiocManager::install("biomaRt")
BiocManager::install("GenomeInfoDbData")
BiocManager::install("GO.db")

library(AnnotationForge)
library(biomaRt)

tx_id <- "568703"
makeOrgPackageFromNCBI(version = "0.1",
                       author = "placeholder@domain",
                       maintainer = "placeholder@domain",
                       outputDir = ".",
                       tax_id = tx_id,
                       genus = "Lactobacullis",
                       species = "rhamnosus")

And the error (eventually):

processing gene2pubmed
processing gene_info: chromosomes
processing gene_info: description
processing alias data
processing refseq data
processing accession data
processing GO data
Error in bmRequest(request = request, verbose = verbose) :
  Internal Server Error (HTTP 500).
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In result_fetch(res@ptr, n = n) :
  SQL statements must be issued with dbExecute() or dbSendStatement() instead of dbGetQuery() or dbSendQuery().
2: call dbDisconnect() when finished working with a connection
3: In result_fetch(res@ptr, n = n) :
  SQL statements must be issued with dbExecute() or dbSendStatement() instead of dbGetQuery() or dbSendQuery().

And my session. I tried it with R4.0 as well, and get a similar error message.

I have found this post on a related manner, and updated the AnnotationDbi package, and the issue was resolved. For completeness I did:

BiocManager::install("remotes") #not sure if needed
BiocManager::install("jmacdon/AnnotationDbi")

and then run the commands above to produce the database.

That's actually an error from the biomaRt package, at the point where the function is trying to map NCBI Gene IDs to Ensembl IDs. Being an online resource (and of late rather inconsistently available), it's possible to get errors like that, and given the amount of time to build one of these things it's irritating to boot, particularly since there aren't any Ensembl mappings. Howeva:

tx_id <- "568703"
makeOrgPackageFromNCBI(version = "0.1",
                       author = "placeholder@domain",
                       maintainer = "placeholder@domain",
                       outputDir = ".",
                       tax_id = tx_id,
                       genus = "Lactobacullis",
                       species = "rhamnosus")
If files are not cached locally this may take awhile to assemble a 12 GB cache databse in the NCBIFilesDir directory. Subsequent calls to this function should be faster (seconds). The cache will try to rebuild once per day.
