Copy a cdm object from one database to another

Source: R/copy_cdm_to.R
copy_cdm_to.Rd

It may be helpful to be able to easily copy a small test cdm from a local database to a remote for testing. copy_cdm_to takes a cdm object and a connection. It copies the cdm to the remote database connection. CDM tables can be prefixed in the new database allowing for multiple cdms in a single shared database schema.

Usage

copy_cdm_to(con, cdm, schema, overwrite = FALSE)

copyCdmTo(con, cdm, schema, overwrite = FALSE)

Arguments

con

A DBI datbase connection created by DBI::dbConnect

cdm

A cdm reference object created by CDMConnector::cdmFromCon or CDMConnector::cdm_from_con

schema

schema name in the remote database where the user has write permission

overwrite

Should the cohort table be overwritten if it already exists? TRUE or FALSE (default)

Value

A cdm reference object pointing to the newly created cdm in the remote database
