Examples

if (FALSE) {
library(CDMConnector)

con <- DBI::dbConnect(duckdb::duckdb(), dbdir = eunomia_dir())
concept <- dplyr::tbl(con, "concept")

# create a table
rxnorm_count <- concept %>%
  dplyr::filter(domain_id == "Drug") %>%
  dplyr::mutate(isRxnorm = (vocabulary_id == "RxNorm")) %>%
  dplyr::count(domain_id, isRxnorm) %>%
  compute("rxnorm_count")

# append to an existing table
rxnorm_count <- concept %>%
  dplyr::filter(domain_id == "Procedure") %>%
  dplyr::mutate(isRxnorm = (vocabulary_id == "RxNorm")) %>%
  dplyr::count(domain_id, isRxnorm) %>%
  appendPermanent("rxnorm_count")

DBI::dbDisconnect(con, shutdown = TRUE)
