importRAM: Imports and compiles views for wetland RAM data package

Description

This function imports RAM-related tables in the wetland RAM backend and combines them into flattened views for the data package. Each view is added to a VIEWS_RAM environment in your workspace, or to your global environment based on whether new_env = TRUE or FALSE.

Usage

importRAM(
  export_protected = FALSE,
  type = c("DSN", "file"),
  odbc = "RAM_BE",
  db_path = NA,
  new_env = TRUE,
  export_data = FALSE,
  export_path = NA,
  zip = FALSE
)

Arguments

export_protected	Logical. If TRUE, all records are exported. If FALSE (Default), only non-protected species are exported.
type	Select whether to use the default Data Source Named database (DSN) to import data or a different database. If "DSN" is selected, must specify name in odbc argument. "DSN" Default. DSN database. If odbc argument is not specified, will default to "RAM_BE" "file" A different database than default DSN "csv" Import csv views that have already been compiled as data package.
odbc	DSN of the database when using type = DSN. If not specified will default to "RAM_BE", which is the back end of the MS Access RAM database.
db_path	Quoted path of database back end file, including the name of the backend.
new_env	Logical. Specifies which environment to store views in. If TRUE(Default), stores views in VIEWS_RAM environment. If FALSE, stores views in global environment
export_data	Logical. If TRUE, writes views to disk. If FALSE (Default), views are only stored in specified R environment.
export_path	Quoted path to export views to. If blank, exports to working directory.
zip	Logical. If TRUE, exports a zip file. If FALSE (Default), exports individual csvs.

Value

Assigns RAM views to specified environment

Examples

## Not run: 
# Import tables from database in specific folder:
importRAM(type = 'file', path = './Data/NETN_RAM_Backend.mdb')

# Import ODBC named database into global env with protected species
importRAM(type = 'DSN', odbc = "RAM_BE", new_env = F, export_protected = T)

## End(Not run)
