Delete Protocol
delete_protocol.Rd
delete_protocol()
deletes an existing protocol in the protocol lookup table
Arguments
- con
A DBI connection object obtained from DBI::dbConnect()
- protocol_id
A numeric ID for the targeted protocol
get_protocols
Note: If an protocol has been associated with a assay result record, then the database restricts deleting this protocol. You must first update those records with a new protocol before reattempting to delete the protocol. Consider using theupdate_protocol_status
function if you are wanting to retire an protocol while retaining its value for historic records.
