Create cohort tables — createCohortTables • CohortGenerator

This function creates an empty cohort table and empty tables for cohort statistics.

createCohortTables(
  connectionDetails = NULL,
  connection = NULL,
  cohortDatabaseSchema,
  cohortTableNames = getCohortTableNames(),
  incremental = FALSE
)

Arguments

connectionDetails: An object of type connectionDetails as created using the createConnectionDetails function in the DatabaseConnector package. Can be left NULL if connection is provided.
connection: An object of type connection as created using the connect function in the DatabaseConnector package. Can be left NULL if connectionDetails is provided, in which case a new connection will be opened at the start of the function, and closed when the function finishes.
cohortDatabaseSchema: Schema name where your cohort tables reside. Note that for SQL Server, this should include both the database and schema name, for example 'scratch.dbo'.
cohortTableNames: The names of the cohort tables. See getCohortTableNames for more details.
incremental: When set to TRUE, this function will check to see if the cohortTableNames exists in the cohortDatabaseSchema and if they exist, it will skip creating the tables.
