db_dataset_create: Create a New Dataset

Create a New Dataset

Description

A dataset is a family of time series that belong to the same topic. By default all series stored with 'db_store_ts' belong to a default set. In order to assign them a different set, it must first be created with 'db_dataset_create' after which the series may be moved with db_ts_assign_dataset.

db_dataset_create(
  con,
  set_name,
  set_description = NULL,
  set_md = NULL,
  schema = "timeseries"
)

Arguments

con	RPostgres connection object.
set_name	character name of a dataset.
set_description	character description about the set. Default to NA.
set_md	meta information data about the set. Default to NA.
schema	character name of the database schema. Defaults to 'timeseries'
