NAME

CohortExplorer::Command::Query::Search - CohortExplorer class to search entities

SYNOPSIS

search [OPTIONS] [VARIABLE]

s [OPTIONS] [VARIABLE]

DESCRIPTION

The search command enables the user to search entities using variables of interest. The user can also impose conditions on the variables. Moreover, the command also enables the user to view summary statistics and export the tables in csv format. The command is available to both standard and longitudinal datasources.

This class is inherited from CohortExplorer::Command::Query and overrides the following methods:

usage_text()

This method returns the usage information for the command.

get_query_parameters( $opts, $datasource, @args )

This method returns a hash ref with keys, static, dynamic or both depending on the datasource type and variables supplied within arguments and conditions. The value of each key is a hash containing SQL parameters, -columns, -from, -where, -group_by and -having.

process_result_set( $opts, $datasource, $result_set, $dir, $csv, @args )

This method returns a hash ref with keys as Entity_ID and values either a list of visit numbers, if the result-set contains visit column (i.e. dynamic tables- longitudinal datasources), or empty list (i.e. static tables - standard/longitudinal datasources )

process_table( $table, $datasource, $table_data, $dir, $csv, $result_entity )

This method writes the table data into a csv file for entities present in the result set. For static tables the data includes Entity_ID followed by variables' values where as, for dynamic tables it includes an additional column Visit. The column headers for csv are retrieved by variables() method of the datasource class.

get_stats_data( $result_set )

This method returns a hash ref with Visit as keys and variable-value hash as its value provided, at least one variable in the query-set belongs to the dynamic table. For all other cases it simply returns a hash ref with variable-value pairs.

OPTIONS

-o DIR, --out=DIR

Provide directory to export data

-e TABLE, --export=TABLE

Export table by name

-a, --export-all

Export all tables

-s, --save--command

Save command

-S, --stats

Show summary statistics

-c COND, --cond=COND

Impose conditions using the operators: =, !=, >, >=, <, <=, between, not_between, like, not_like, in, not_in and regexp.

NOTES

The variables Entity_ID and Visit (if applicable) must not be provided as arguments as they are already part of the query-set. However, the user has the liberty to impose conditions on both Entity_ID and Visit, using the cond option. The directory specified within the out option must have RWX enabled for CohortExplorer.

EXAMPLES

search --out /home/user/exports --stats --save-command --cond DS.Status="{'=','CTL'}" SC.Date

search --out /home/user/exports --export-all --cond SD.Subject_Sex="{'=','Male'}" CER.Score DIS.Status

search -o /home/user/exports -e DS -e SD -c Entity_ID="{'like',['SUB100%','SUB200%']}" DIS.Status

search -o /home/user/exports -Ssa -c Visit="{'in',['1','3','5']}" DIS.Status 

search -o /home/user/exports -c CER.Score="{'between',['25','30']}" DIS.Status

DIAGNOSTICS

This class throws throw_cmd_run_exception exception imported from CLI::Framework::Exceptions if Text::CSV_XS fails to construct a csv string from the list containing variables' values.
