Setting Up Environment

Installation Requirements

We install the OHDSI dummy database, Eunomia, to write our queries:

install.packages(c("SqlRender", "DatabaseConnector", "remotes"))
remotes::install_github("ohdsi/Eunomia", ref = "v1.0.0")

We will also install the package knitr for viewing and working with resulting tables easily:

install.packages("knitr")

Making Connection to Eunomia

Here we load the DatabaseConnector library to connect to Eunomia:

library('DatabaseConnector')
library('knitr')

And set a connection to Eunomia

connectionDetails <-Eunomia::getEunomiaConnectionDetails()
connection <- connect(connectionDetails)

Querying Drugs by Name

First we need to write our SQL query as follows:

sql <-	"
	SELECT * FROM @cdm.concept WHERE lower(concept_name) = 'warfarin'
	"

And then we can run our SQL query and return the results as follows:

result <- renderTranslateQuerySql(connection, sql,cdm ="main")
knitr::kable(result)
