Encode a version string — encode_version

This function encodes a version string, returning the integer representation of the version string.

Usage

encode_version_string(
  version_string,
  table_name,
  conn = NULL,
  schema = schema_from_conn(conn = conn),
  fk_parent_tables = get_all_fk_tables(conn = conn, schema = schema),
  .version_colname = PFUPipelineTools::dataset_info$valid_from_version_colname
)

Arguments

version_string: The version to be encoded.
table_name: The name of the table in which the version_string is found.
conn: An optional database connection. Necessary only for the default values of schema and fk_parent_tables. Default is NULL.
schema: The schema for the database. Default is schema_from_conn(conn = conn).
fk_parent_tables: The foreign key parent tables. Default is get_all_fk_tables(conn = conn, schema = schema).
.version_colname: A column in which versions are provided. This column is used internally. Default is PFUPipelineTools::dataset_info$valid_from_version_colname. PFUPipelineTools::dataset_info$valid_to_version_colname would also work.

Value

An integer which is the index for version_string.
