Simple R package to import tables from Microsoft SQL Server.

## Description

Really a very simple package. `importTablesMSSQL` includes one function of the same name, and it imports tables from SQL Server into the R global environment using the `DBI` package. It's intended for multi-table pulls in such cases that render individual queries unwieldy, but it pulls single tables just fine, too.

## Installation

To install, run the following command in the R console after installing the `devtools` package:

```

devtools::install_github("cadnza/importTablesMSSQL")

```

If you don't have `devtools`, you can get it here:

```

install.packages("devtools")

```

## Use

`importTablesMSSQL` includes standard documentation that can be called from the R console:

```

?importTablesMSSQL

```

## Example

```

# Clear environment except for imported tables ----

tryCatch(

	expr=rm(list=ls()[!ls()%in%AdventureWorks.manifest]),

	error=function(x)invisible()

)

# Get connection info ----

server <- "192.168.0.0"

database <- "AdventureWorks"

username <- keyring::key_list(server)$username

# Open connection ----

conn <- DBI::dbConnect(

	drv = odbc::odbc(),

	Driver = "SQL Server",

	Port = 1433,

	Server=server,

	Database=database,

	UID=username,

	PWD=keyring::key_get(server,username)

)

# Import tables ----

importTablesMSSQL(

	conn,

	tables=c("Sales.vSalesPerson","Person.vAdditionalContactInfo")

)

# View SalesPerson dataframe ----

View(AdventureWorks.Sales.vSalesPerson)

```
