RQDA project union #48

Open Jhonattan38G opened 3 years ago

Jhonattan38G commented 3 years ago

Hi, I need help with the RQDA library, when coding a research work, it is required to create 3 different projects, once the work of each one is finished, it is required to unify the three RQDA files into one, do you have any idea how you can do that union or someone who can help us? I need this urgently and I have not found anything about it on the web. Of course, the idea that each object of the projects does not repeat each other is respected.

I will clarify the idea, taking as an example the atlas.ti software (qda software) there is an option that allows you to merge projects, is it possible to do the same in rqda? or someone to help me develop this function, it is too useful, to allocate several work projects with which I have.

There is no baked in function that will allow such a merger, but if you have some knowledge of SQL, it can be accomplished. The RQDA project files are simply SQLite databases and you can find documentation on its structure by looking at the help file ?RQDATables. I too have had cause to work with multiple collaborators, but rather than try to merge the entire projects, I use SQL queries/joins to pick the actual data I require for my task. Nevertheless it would be a good idea to write a function to seamlessly merge whole projects. Hope this helps.

By what means could I contact you? If it is possible for you to help me perform this function, which I am commenting on would be of great help, and we would talk about more things about it.
