We have had some discussions here in Sweden about better ways to distribute
sequence databases. I need to have some statistics on the current
development of the databases. 

1) How big is the growth of the databases. Current and expected.
2) How many percents of the database is revised at each release.
   
	a) If you need to update a whole entry.
	b) If you only update the revised text in a relational db.

I hope you can help me with an estimate for these figures.

	Sincerly,
	Mats
