Arguments

path

Character string. A folder on your computer where the tables should be written.

Details

VigiBase tables and MedDRA tables are provided respectively as text files and ascii files. The tb_* family turns them into parquet files. These create_example_* functions are only used to produce example source files to illustrate the tb_* family, and parquet files for the same purpose.

Functions

  • create_ex_sub_txt(): sub txt tables

  • create_ex_who_txt(): WHO txt tables

  • create_ex_meddra_asc(): MedDRA txt tables

  • create_ex_main_pq(): main parquet tables
