GBIF database empty #63

Closed NgAMB closed 1 year ago

NgAMB commented 1 year ago

I used db_download_gbif() to download the GBIF database, but when I try to run name2taxid(<any string>, db = "gbif") it always returns NA. Following the file path the database was downloaded to, I find gbif.sqlite appears to be only 24KB. Downloading the file directly from the link it is hosted at (https://taxize-dbs.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/gbif.zip) yields the same result.

(Let me know if I should open an issue over at https://github.com/sckott/gbif-backbone-sql instead.)

Thanks @NgAMB for raising this issue. Yes, the database at the remote server is too small. Please leave the issue with me, I'll look into it.

Thanks @NgAMB for your patience. The database has been updated, can you please download it again with db_download_gbif(overwrite = TRUE) and see if it works on your end?

Yes, the database successfully downloads, and other functions using it behave as expected now. Thanks!
