Arguments

connectionDetails

An R object of type connectionDetails created using the function createConnectionDetails in the DatabaseConnector package.

cdmDatabaseSchema

The name of the database schema that contains the OMOP CDM instance. Requires read permissions to this database. On SQL Server, this should specifiy both the database and the schema, so for example 'cdm_instance.dbo'.

cdmDatabaseName

A string with the name of the database - this is used in the shiny app and when externally validating models to name the result list and to specify the folder name when saving validation results (defaults to cdmDatabaseSchema if not specified)

cdmDatabaseId

A string with a unique identifier for the database and version - this is stored in the plp object for future reference and used by the shiny app (defaults to cdmDatabaseSchema if not specified)

tempEmulationSchema

For dmbs like Oracle only: the name of the database schema where you want all temporary tables to be managed. Requires create/insert permissions to this database.

cohortDatabaseSchema

The name of the database schema that is the location where the target cohorts are available. Requires read permissions to this database.

cohortTable

The tablename that contains the target cohorts. Expectation is cohortTable has format of COHORT table: COHORT_DEFINITION_ID, SUBJECT_ID, COHORT_START_DATE, COHORT_END_DATE.

outcomeDatabaseSchema

The name of the database schema that is the location where the data used to define the outcome cohorts is available. Requires read permissions to this database.

outcomeTable

The tablename that contains the outcome cohorts. Expectation is outcomeTable has format of COHORT table: COHORT_DEFINITION_ID, SUBJECT_ID, COHORT_START_DATE, COHORT_END_DATE.

targetId

An integer specifying the cohort id for the target cohort

outcomeIds

A single integer or vector of integers specifying the cohort ids for the outcome cohorts

cdmVersion

Define the OMOP CDM version used: currently support "4" and "5".

cohortId

(depreciated: use targetId) old input for the target cohort id

Value

A list with the the database specific settings (this is used by the runMultiplePlp function and the skeleton packages)

Details

This function simply stores the settings for communicating with the cdmDatabase when extracting the target cohort and outcomes
