RStudio CommunityCreating, Writing, Querying, and Modifying SQL Database from R using odbc, dbplyr, and DBI
Introduction Recently, I have been building shiny apps for work. The app that I am currently working on is an interface to a database for storing information about laboratory samples being collected. In addition to building the shiny app for my coworkers to interact with the database, I also was tasked with creating and building the database. I have never build a SQL database from scratch, but luckily the odbc and the DBI packages make it fairly straight foreward.
