Database

printSimulationsTable()

Print a table of simulations and their varied values. See keyword arguments below for more control of the output.

There are many methods for this function. The simplest is printSimulationsTable(), which prints all simulations in the database. You can also pass in any number of simulations, monads, samplings, and trials to print a table of those simulations:

printSimulationsTable([simulation_1, monad_3, sampling_2, trial_1])

Finally, a vector of simulation IDs can be passed in:

printSimulationsTable([1, 2, 3])

Keyword arguments can be used with any of these methods to control the output:

Keyword Arguments

• sink: A function to print the table. Defaults to println. Note, the table is a DataFrame, so you can also use CSV.write to write the table to a CSV file.
• remove_constants::Bool: If true, removes columns that have the same value for all simulations. Defaults to true.
• sort_by::Vector{String}: A vector of column names to sort the table by. Defaults to all columns. To populate this argument, first print the table to see the column names.
• sort_ignore::Vector{String}: A vector of column names to ignore when sorting. Defaults to the database IDs associated with the simulations.

simulationsTable(T; kwargs...)

Return a DataFrame with the simulation data calling simulationsTableFromQuery with those keyword arguments.

There are three options for T:

• T can be any Simulation, Monad, Sampling, Trial, or any array (or vector) of such.
• T can also be a vector of simulation IDs.
• If omitted, creates a DataFrame for all the simulations.

abstractSamplingForeignReferenceSubSchema()

Create the part of the schema containing foreign key references for the simulations, monads, and samplings tables.

addFolderNameColumns!(df::DataFrame)

Add the folder names to the DataFrame for each location in the DataFrame.

appendVariations(location::Symbol, df::DataFrame)

Add the varied parameters associated with the location to df.

constructSelectQuery(table_name::String, condition_stmt::String=""; selection::String="*")

Construct a SELECT query for the given table name, condition statement, and selection.

createDefaultStatusCodesTable()

Create the default status codes table in the database.

createPCVCTTable(table_name::String, schema::String; db::SQLite.DB=centralDB())

Create a table in the database with the given name and schema. The table will be created if it does not already exist.

The table name must end in "s" to help normalize the ID names for these entries. The schema must have a PRIMARY KEY named as the table name without the "s" followed by "_id."

createSchema(is_new_db::Bool; auto_upgrade::Bool=false)

Create the schema for the database. This includes creating the tables and populating them with data.

initializeDatabase(path_to_database::String; auto_upgrade::Bool=false)

Initialize the database at the given path. If the database does not exist, it will be created.

Also, check the version of pcvct used to create the database and upgrade it if necessary.

inputFolderID(location::Symbol, folder_name::String; db::SQLite.DB=centralDB())

Retrieve the ID of the folder associated with the given location and folder name.

inputFolderName(location::Symbol, id::Int)

Retrieve the folder name associated with the given location and ID.

inputIDsSubSchema()

Create the part of the schema corresponding to the input IDs.

inputVariationIDsSubSchema()

Create the part of the schema corresponding to the varied inputs and their IDs.

insertFolder(location::Symbol, folder::String, description::String="")

Insert a folder into the database. If the folder already exists, it will be ignored.

If the folder already has a description from the metadata.xml file, that description will be used instead of the one provided.

isStarted(simulation_id::Int[; new_status_code::Union{Missing,String}=missing])

Check if a simulation has been started. Can also pass in a Simulation object in place of the simulation ID.

If new_status_code is provided, update the status of the simulation to this value. The check and status update are done in a transaction to ensure that the status is not changed by another process.

metadataDescription(path_to_folder::AbstractString)

Get the description from the metadata.xml file in the given folder using the description element as a child element of the root element.

monadsSchema()

Create the schema for the monads table. This includes the columns and their types.

necessaryInputsPresent()

Check if all necessary input folders are present in the database.

physicellVersionsSchema()

Create the schema for the physicell_versions table. This includes the columns and their types.

queryToDataFrame(query::String; db::SQLite.DB=centralDB(), is_row::Bool=false)

Execute a query against the database and return the result as a DataFrame.

If is_row is true, the function will assert that the result has exactly one row, i.e., a unique result.

recognizedStatusCodes()

Return the recognized status codes for simulations.

reinitializeDatabase()

Reinitialize the database by searching through the data/inputs directory to make sure all are present in the database.

samplingsSchema()

Create the schema for the samplings table. This includes the columns and their types.

simulationsTableFromQuery(query::String; remove_constants::Bool=true, sort_by=String[], sort_ignore=[:SimID; shortLocationVariationID.(projectLocations().varied)])

Return a DataFrame containing the simulations table for the given query.

By default, will ignore the simulation ID and the variation IDs for the varied locations when sorting. The sort order can be controlled by the sort_by and sort_ignore keyword arguments.

By default, constant columns (columns with the same value for all simulations) will be removed (unless there is only one simulation). Set remove_constants to false to keep these columns.

Arguments

• query::String: The SQL query to execute.

Keyword Arguments

• remove_constants::Bool: If true, removes columns that have the same value for all simulations. Defaults to true.
• sort_by::Vector{String}: A vector of column names to sort the table by. Defaults to all columns. To populate this argument, it is recommended to first print the table to see the column names.
• sort_ignore::Vector{String}: A vector of column names to ignore when sorting. Defaults to the simulation ID and the variation IDs associated with the simulations.

statusCodeID(status_code::String)

Get the ID of a status code from the database.

variationIDs(location::Symbol, S::AbstractSampling)

Return a vector of the variation IDs for the given location associated with S.

variationsDatabase(location::Symbol, folder::String)

Return the database for the location and folder.

The second argument can alternatively be the ID of the folder or an AbstractSampling object (simulation, monad, or sampling) using that folder.

variationsTable(query::String, db::SQLite.DB; remove_constants::Bool=false)

Return a DataFrame containing the variations table for the given query and database.

Remove constant columns if remove_constants is true and the DataFrame has more than one row.

variationsTable(location::Symbol, ::Missing, variation_ids::AbstractVector{<:Integer}; kwargs...)

If the location folder does not contain a variations database, return a DataFrame with all variation IDs set to 0.

variationsTable(location::Symbol, ::Nothing, variation_ids::AbstractVector{<:Integer}; kwargs...)

If the location is not being used, return a DataFrame with all variation IDs set to -1.

variationsTableName(location::Symbol, variations_database::SQLite.DB, variation_ids::AbstractVector{<:Integer}; remove_constants::Bool=false)

Return a DataFrame containing the variations table for the given location, variations database, and variation IDs.

variationsTable(location::Symbol, S::AbstractSampling; remove_constants::Bool=false)

Return a DataFrame containing the variations table for the given location and sampling.

vctDBQuery(query::String; db::SQLite.DB=centralDB())

Execute a query against the database and return the result.
