get_NASIS_table_name_by_purpose: Get NASIS 7 Physical Table Names

Description

Method generalizing concepts of NASIS 7 data model to group tables by "purpose." Most of our more complex queries rely on tables from one or more purposes, so individual higher-level functions might call a function like this to identify the relevant tables from a data source.

Usage

get_NASIS_table_name_by_purpose(
  purpose = c("metadata", "lookup", "nasis", "site", "pedon", "transect", "component",
    "vegetation", "project", "techsoilservice", "area", "soilseries", "legend",
    "mapunit", "datamapunit"),
  SS = FALSE
)

Value

character vector of table names

Arguments

character. One or more of: "metadata", "lookup", "nasis", "site", "pedon", "transect", "component", "vegetation", "project", "techsoilservice", "area", "soilseries", "legend", "mapunit", "datamapunit"

SS

append "_View_1" on appropriate tables? Default: FALSE
