check_ecotox_version

<a href="https://lifecycle.r-lib.org/articles/stages.html#stable"><img src="figures/lifecycle-stable.svg?package=ECOTOXr&version=1.1.1" alt="[Stable]"></a> Checks the version of the database available on-line
from the EPA against the specified version (latest by default) of the database build
locally. Returns <code>TRUE</code> when they are the same.

The US EPA ECOTOX database is a freely available database
with a treasure of aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicological data.
As the online search interface doesn't come with an API, this
package provides the means to easily access and search the database
in R. To this end, all raw tables are downloaded from the EPA website
and stored in a local SQLite database <doi:10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143078>.
