Overview

About

Maintained by Greg LampCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

db.r uses OOP style objects (with an API akin to C++, Python, Ruby, Javascript, etc.) to help make visualizing the tables, columns, and available operations on your database easier. db.r dynamically loads database schemas, execute queries, and manage credentials.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/db.r/db.r_0.1.3.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "db.r_0.1.3.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.3) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("yhat/db.r")

Development version from yhat/db.r. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
