Package functions fail gracefully in case database is offline.
Performance improvements to long2wide.
A connection to the database is only established when specific functions are called that require a database connection.
make_date can now also convert year-month strings of
the form ‘YYYYMNN’ or ‘YYYY-MNN’ to R Date’s.
tryCatch, and, if it fails,
ugatsdb_reconnect is called and the query is sent
again.Significant speed improvement to the expand_date
function.
Additional security: before each call, the database connection is
checked using DBI::dbIsValid (inside
tryCatch). If the connection is not valid,
ugatsdb_reconnect is called before executing the
query.
Fixed a bug in transpose_wide when data contains
both numeric and categorical data (next to the date variable in the
first column). In that case a list of two transposed datasets, one with
the numeric data and the other with the categorical data, is
returned.
The default date formatting for transpose_wide was
changed from an American MM/DD/YYYY date to a British DD/MM/YYYY date,
which is also the Ugandan convention of recording dates.
Small changes and additions to the documentation. Notably, the package overview page is now called ‘ugatsdb-package’, with an alias ‘ugatsdb’.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
