Package 'minired'

Title: R Interface to 'Redatam' Library
Description: This package is deprecated. Please use 'redatamx' instead. Provides an API to work with 'Redatam' (see <https://redatam.org>) databases in both formats: 'RXDB' (new format) and 'DICX' (old format) and running 'Redatam' programs written in 'SPC' language. It's a wrapper around 'Redatam' core and provides functions to open/close a database (redatam_open()/redatam_close()), list entities and variables from the database (redatam_entities(), redatam_variables()) and execute a 'SPC' program and gets the results as data frames (redatam_query(), redatam_run()).
