Get the src_sqlite for a receiver or tag database

Source: R/getMotusDBSrc.R
getMotusDBSrc.Rd

Receiver database files have names like "SG-1234BBBK06EA.motus" or "Lotek-12345.motus", and project database files have names like "project-52.motus".

Usage

getMotusDBSrc(
  recv = NULL,
  proj = NULL,
  create = FALSE,
  dbDir = motus_vars$dbDir
)

Arguments

recv

receiver serial number

proj

integer motus project number exactly one of proj or recv must be specified.

create

Is this a new database? Default: FALSE. Same semantics as for src_sqlite()'s parameter of the same name: the DB must already exist unless you specify create = TRUE

dbDir

path to folder with existing receiver databases Default: motus_vars$dbDir, which is set to the current folder by getwd() when this library is loaded.

Value

a src_sqlite for the receiver; if the receiver is new, this database will be empty, but have the correct schema.
