@cboettig yeah, the occurrence table is gone in the new new SQL DB

I assume we should drop that route, and corresponding fxn in this pkg?

cboettig commented 8 years ago

Yup. Maybe include a warning for now "this table is no longer available in the FishBase API"? Guess we should write to Ranier and ask about the change

sckott commented 8 years ago

yeah, or rather a stop message?

sealifebase has occurrence table, but it's apparently empty, so I guess we can treat them the same essentially
