Has anyone else attempted the SCILHS i2b2 to CDM code on Oracle?  I'm focusing 
on the demographics table to start with have run into a few things I wanted to 
share.

#1)  SCILHS relies on the patient_dimension for the demographics, not the 
observation_fact.  Just something to be aware of, not really a problem as long 
as you have the patient_dimension built out.
#2)  The demographics ontology has some rows that use the IN for the operator 
and some rows that use like.  But the code only works for the race/sex where it 
is using "IN" as the operator.  I added a where race.c_operator='IN' , 
sex.c_operator='IN' , hisp.c_operator='IN' where necessary to avoid the oracle 
error.
#3) For Hispanic, the code is only looking at the race_cd.  This only give you 
'Yes' or 'No-Information' as values.   I think it would make more sense to move 
the ethnicity information to an ethnicity_cd column.

Anyone else working with the i2b2 to CDM on Oracle code?  Just wondering if 
there are any other changes you've had to make to get it working.

Thanks,
Phillip
