Create a New Project

Creates a new project in the database for managing a set of related tasks. Each project has its own task table and configuration.

Usage

project_add(project, memory = 10)

Arguments

project

Character string for the project name. Must be unique and cannot be a reserved name (e.g., "config").

memory

Memory requirement in gigabytes (GB) for each task in this project. Default is 10 GB.

Value

Invisibly returns NULL. Called for side effects (creating project in database).

Details

This function:

• Creates a new entry in the project table

• Creates a dedicated task table named task_<project>

• Sets default memory requirements for all tasks

If a project with the same name already exists, the memory requirement is updated but the task table remains unchanged.

After creating a project, you must:

1. Assign resources with project_resource_add

2. Add tasks with task_add

3. Start the project with project_start

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Not run:
# Create a project with default memory
project_add("simulation_study")

# Create with higher memory requirement
project_add("big_data_analysis", memory = 64)

# Verify project was created
project_list()
} # }
