Query recording (relevé) information from INBOVEG

This function queries the INBOVEG database for relevé information (which species were recorded in which plots and in which vegetation layers with which cover) for one or more surveys, or in combination with the unique ID (recordingGIVID) or user reference Wildcards in survey_name, user_reference or recording_givid should only be used if a character string (a length one character vector), otherwise values are assumed to match exactly.

get_inboveg_recording(
  connection,
  survey_name = "%",
  user_reference = "%",
  recording_givid = "%",
  collect = FALSE,
  multiple = deprecated()
)

Arguments

connection

dbconnection with the database 'Cydonia' on the inbo-sql07-prd server

survey_name

A character string or a character vector, giving the name or names of the survey(s) for which you want to extract relevé information. As default (survey_name = "%") all surveys are returned.

user_reference

A character string or a character vector giving the name of a recording for which you want to extract relevé information. As default (user_reference = "%") all user-references are returned.

recording_givid

A character string or a character vector giving the unique id of a recording for which you want to extract relevé information. As default (recording_givids = "%") all recording_givids are returned.

collect

If FALSE (the default), a remote tbl object is returned. This is like a reference to the result of the query but the full result of the query is not brought into memory. If TRUE the full result of the query is collected (fetched) from the database and brought into memory of the working environment.

multiple

Deprecated.

Value

A remote tbl object (collect = FALSE) or a tibble dataframe (collect = TRUE) with variables RecordingGivid (unique ID), User reference, LayerCode, CoverCode, OriginalName, ScientificName, TaxonGroupCode, PhenologyCode, Comment, CoverageCode, PctValue (percentage coverage), RecordingScale (name of the scale of coverage)
