"description": "Tools for making Access databases (both .mdb and .accdb) databases available to users without the use of Access. As of now, three conversion tools are available in generalized formats. [1] Conversion from an `.accdb` or `.mdb` database that may be remote or local to a local set of `.csv` files named by the tables in the database. This tool wraps around the mdbtools package (which leverages the drivers in unixodbc) to provide one-line conversion of an Access database to a folder of .csv files. This is accomplished by the `accessor.bash` script, which combines two other scripts: `retrieve_remote_db.bash` (if necessary) and `msdb_to_csvs.bash`. [2] Reading the folder of `.csv`s into R as a `list` of `data.frames` that is directly analagous to the `.accdb` or `.mdb` database of tables via the read_database() function. This is accomplished through an included R script of a few minimal functions generalizing the base capacity of R to read data files. [3] A Dockerfile that documents a Docker image (stored on Docker Hub), which provides a stable, minimal runtime environment that automatically downloads up-to-date data from a particular .accdb database (California Delta fish salvage monitoring database). The Dockerfile includes arguments that allow for simple high-level toggling of runtime arguments including the location of the file to be retrieved. Methods text included describes the bash, R, and Dockerfile script options and default values (if included)."
