 Function: Inserts or updates the child entities of the given object in the 
           datastore.

           Usually, those child objects will reference the given
           object as a foreign key.

           We override this here from the ontology term adaptor
           because there is no synonyms or dbxrefs for SimpleValue
           tags. I.e., we revert to the default behaviour of doing
           nothing.

 Example :
 Returns : TRUE on success, and FALSE otherwise
 Args    : The Bio::DB::PersistentObjectI implementing object for which the
           child objects shall be made persistent.
           A reference to an array of foreign key values, in the order of
           foreign keys returned by get_foreign_key_objects().

=head2 attach_children

 Title   : attach_children
 Usage   :
 Function: Possibly retrieve and attach child objects of the given object.

           This is needed when whole object trees are supposed to be built
           when a base object is queried for and returned. An example would
           be Bio::SeqI objects and all the annotation objects that hang off
           of it.

           This is called by the find_by_XXXX() methods once the base object
           has been built. 

           We override this here from the ontology term adaptor
           because there is no synonyms or dbxrefs for SimpleValue
           tags. I.e., we revert to the default behaviour of doing
           nothing.

 Example :
 Returns : TRUE on success, and FALSE otherwise.
 Args    : The object for which to find and to which to attach the child
           objects.

=head2 remove_children

 Title   : remove_children
 Usage   :
 Function: This method is to cascade deletes in maintained objects.

           We just return TRUE here.

 Example :
 Returns : TRUE on success and FALSE otherwise
 Args    : The persistent object that was just removed from the database.
           Additional (named) parameter, as passed to remove().

=head2 instantiate_from_row

 Title   : instantiate_from_row
 Usage   :
 Function: Instantiates the class this object is an adaptor for, and populates
           it with values from columns of the row.

           This implementation call populate_from_row() to do the real
           job.

 Example :
 Returns : An object, or undef, if the row contains no values
 Args    : A reference to an array of column values. The first column is the
           primary key, the other columns are expected to be in the order 
           returned by get_persistent_slots().

           Optionally, the object factory to be used for instantiating
           the proper class. The adaptor must be able to instantiate a
           default class if this value is undef.
