Abstract
We present our experience of building biological databases. Such databases have most aspects in common with other complex databases in other fields. We do not believe that biological data are that different from complex data in other fields. Our experience has led us to emphasise simplicity and conservative technology choices when building these databases. This is a short paper of advice that we hope is useful to people designing their own biological database.
