Update Sample Type Status

update_sample_type_status.Rd

update_sample_type_status() changes active flag on existing sample type in the sample type lookup table

Usage

update_sample_type_status(con, sample_type_id, set_active = TRUE)

Arguments

con

A DBI connection object obtained from DBI::dbConnect()

sample_type_id

A numeric ID for the targeted sample type get_sample_types

set_active

A boolean, TRUE for activating and FALSE for deactivating. When a record is active, it is returned by default when get_sample_types is called. This helps preserve look up values that are valid in historic contexts, but are no longer valid for current data records.

Other sample type functions: add_sample_type(), delete_sample_type(), get_sample_types(), update_sample_type()

Examples

# example database connection
cfg <- config::get()
con <- DBI::dbConnect(RPostgres::Postgres(),
                      dbname = cfg$dbname,
                      host = cfg$host,
                      port = cfg$port,
                      user = cfg$username,
                      password = cfg$password)
