Most HADES packages will need to interact with a database, for example a database containing healthcare data in the Common Data Model. HADES provides the DatabaseConnector
package to make these connections.
To connect to a database, you must first make sure the DatabaseConnector
is installed. If you have installed all of HADES you will already have installed DatabaseConnector
. Otherwise, you can install DatabaseConnector
from CRAN using:
install.package("DatabaseConnector")
After DatabaseConnector
is installed, several steps will need to be taken to configure the connection to your database. See this vignette for instructions.
