Associates a controlled vocabulary term with a field in a Chado table.

For sharing of data via the semantic web we need to associate a term from a controlled vocabulary with every column of every table in Chado.

Temporary tables (e.g. Tripal tables that begin with 'tripal_' and end with '_temp', are not supported.

Parameters

$chado_table: The name of the table in Chado. This argument is optional. If left empty or set to NULL then all fields in all Chado tables with that have the $column_name will be associated with the provided $term.

$chado_column: The column name in the Chado table to which the term should be associated.

$term: A cvterm object as returned by chado_generate_var().

$update: Set to TRUE if the association should be updated to use the new term if a term is already associated with the table and column. Default is FALSE. If not TRUE and a term is already associated, then no change occurs.

Return value

boolean Returns TRUE if the association was made successfully and FALSE otherwise.
