Query survey information from INBOVEG

This function queries the INBOVEG database for survey information (metadata about surveys) for one or more survey(s) by the name of the survey. See the examples for how to get information for all surveys.

get_inboveg_survey(connection, survey_name, collect = FALSE)

Arguments

connection

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

survey_name

A character vector giving the names of the surveys for which you want to extract survey information.

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.

Value

A remote tbl object (collect = FALSE) or a tibble dataframe (collect = TRUE) with variables Id, Name, Description, Owner and Creator.
