Upload data {{#opasnet_base_link:Op_en4614}}

Code for R for the purpose of interacting with the Opasnet Base is collected on this page. To use it, copy paste the code to the R console; this defines the functions, after which they can be called for in that R session.

Package dependencies

These packages are required for most of the code to work. Load these first (copy-pasteable).

library(utils)
library(RODBC)

Setup

Establishes the connection to the database. Copy paste first.

db <- odbcConnect("opasnet_base") 

• Assuming "opasnet_base" is a correctly defined DSN (Data Service Name; in Windows XP: Control Panel\Administrative tools\Data Sources (ODBC)).
  • Note that uploading requires writing permissions.

Downloading data

Functions

• Now simplified, a lot faster. Copy paste second.

op_baseGetData <- function(db, ident) {
	obj_id <- sqlQuery(db, paste('SELECT id FROM obj WHERE ident = "', ident, '"', sep=''))[1,1]
	series_id <- sqlQuery(db, paste('SELECT series_id FROM actobj WHERE obj_id = ', obj_id, 
		' ORDER BY series_id DESC LIMIT 1'))[1,1]
	Data <- sqlQuery(db, paste('SELECT cell.id, res.obs, obj.name AS ind, loc.location AS loc, res.result', 
		' FROM actobj LEFT JOIN cell ON actobj.id = cell.actobj_id LEFT JOIN res ON cell.id =', 
		' res.cell_id LEFT JOIN loccell ON cell.id = loccell.cell_id LEFT JOIN loc ON loccell.loc_id',
		' = loc.id LEFT JOIN obj ON loc.obj_id_i = obj.id WHERE actobj.obj_id = ', obj_id, 
		' AND actobj.series_id = ', series_id, ' ORDER BY id, obs, ind', sep = ''))
	nind <- length(levels(Data[,3]))
	nres <- nrow(Data)/nind
	dataframe <- Data[1:nres*nind, c(1,2)]
	for (i in nind:1) {
		dataframe[,2 + nind - i + 1] <- Data[1:nres*nind - i + 1, 4]
		colnames(dataframe)[2 + nind - i + 1] <- as.character(Data[nind - i + 1, 3])
	}
	dataframe[,3 + nind] <- Data[1:nres*nind, 5]
	colnames(dataframe)[3 + nind] <- "Result"
	rownames(dataframe) <- 1:nres
	dataframe
}

Usage

variable <- op_baseGetData(db, "page identifier")

• Result will be in a table format with columns: id, obs, ind1, ind2 ... indn, Result.

Manipulating data

Functions

DataframeToArray <- function(dataframe) {
	DimNames <- rep(vector("list", 1), ncol(dataframe) - 2)
	names(DimNames) <- c(colnames(dataframe)[2:(ncol(dataframe) - 1)])
	nind <- length(names(DimNames))
	indlengths <- 0
	for (i in 1:nind) {
		DimNames[[i]] <- levels(factor(dataframe[,1 + i]))
		indlengths[i] <- length(DimNames[[i]])
	}
	array <- rep(NA, prod(indlengths))
	dim(array) <- indlengths
	dimnames(array) <- DimNames
	array[as.matrix(dataframe[,c(1:nind + 1)])] <- dataframe[,ncol(dataframe)]
	array
}

Usage

variable2 <- DataframeToArray(variable1)

• variable1 must be in similar format as the result when downloading.
  • first column (id) is ignored
• variable1 <- function(variable1) is allowed in R

Other useful stuff

as.data.frame(as.table(array))
dataframe[is.na(dataframe[,ncol(dataframe)])==FALSE,]

• First line returns an array from a data frame.
• Second line returns rows without empty values.

dataframe[grep("location", dataframe$index, ignore.case = TRUE),]

• Returns all rows of a data frame where column "index" value is "location".

dataframe[order(dataframe[,"col1"],dataframe[,"col2"], ... ,dataframe[,"coln"]),]

• Returns dataframe ordered by col1, col2, ... , coln.

read.csv("table.csv", sep = ",")

• Returns a data.frame from a .csv file, sep is the separator used in the file.

Uploading data

• Tested and works.
  • Very efficient.
• Probabilistic data supported, albeit with following weaknesses:
  • Varying numbers of iterations between cells not supported.
  • Probabilistic data must also follow a certain sorting order (indices first, obs last).
• Uploading multiple indices and locations at a time could be done by updating a dummy column when a duplicate is encountered, as was done before with some obsolete columns for a minor performance boost. Now a loop is used.

Usage

op_baseWrite(db, input, ident = NULL, name = NULL, unit = NULL, objtype_id = NULL, who = NULL, acttype = NULL)

• Db and input must be defined, the rest if not defined is prompted for by the function as needed.

Restrictions

• Input may be given in either array or data.frame form.
  • Input in data.frame form must contain a "Freq", "Result" or "result" column, this is where the numerical value is read.
  • Probabilistic input must contain a dimension (in case of array) or a column (in case of data.frame) named "obs". Also: all cells must have values for each "obs" value. And the sorting order must be: indices first, obs last; for arrays this means that the first index must be "obs".
