Description

This function must be run prior to other functions in the package. It creates a parsed and cached version of the clinical trials dataset in memory in R. This makes other function calls relatively efficient.

ctgov_create_data(inputdir, dbdir = NULL, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

inputdir	A path to the input duckDB database
dbdir	Location for the output database files. Should be a path to an existing directory in the file system. By default will place files in the location where the package is installed.
verbose	logical flag; should progress messages be printed?; defaults to TRUE

Value

does not return any value; used only for side effects
