Time Series Data Base Interface

Description

TSdbi provides an common interface to time series databases. The package can use the DBI package and its interface to SQL databases, in which case a table structure is specified by TSdbi. It can also be used as an interface to Fame databases (through the padi protoocol for now, but directly should be possible with some work).

The main functions are:

TSconnect       Connect to a database.
TSget           Extract a series from a database.
TSput           Write a series to the database.
TSdates         Check the availability of a series.
TSdescription   Extract the long description of a series.
TSdoc           Extract the documentation for a series.

Use of this package requires one of the interface packages (e. g. TSSQLite, TSMySQL, TSpadi) An overview of how to use the package is (will be) available in vignettes. Using TSdbi is very similar for the different database interfaces, but building vignettes requires working code so the vignettes are included in the various interface packages. For the same reason, most examples and demos must be included in the interface packages. Consult the documentation for the methods in a particular interface package for most examples.

Options can be set to simplify access to a commonly used database (see TSput).
