pgtrajSchema: Check/create pgtraj schema.

In rpostgisLT: Managing Animal Movement Data with 'PostGIS' and R

Description

Checks if the provided schema is a valid pgtraj schema, and creates one if it does not exist.

Usage

pgtrajSchema(conn, schema = "traj")

Arguments

conn	Connection object created with RPostgreSQL.
schema	Character string. Name of the schema that stores or will store the pgtraj data model.

Details

Creates a schema to store pgtrajs in the database by calling a SQL script from ./sql/traj_schema.sql. The schema name defaults to traj. If a schema with the provided name already exists in the database, it checks if it contains all the required tables. The function does not attempt to repair the schema if all pgtraj tables are not present (e.g. because some were manually deleted). In this case, a new pgtraj schema needs to be created, or the existing schema needs to be deleted and recreated.

The function has its own standalone transaction control.

Value

TRUE if the schema exists (whether it was already available or was successfully created).
