Hello,

I want to use a package to load and set up a working environment (Only
intern used). It has function, but also create a connection object
(RPostgreSQL) to make dplyr::tbl implicitely use this connection.

After trying to save the connection object in "Data\"... and failed. I made
the following work around.

Is it the right way to do it, or should it be solved in other ways.

PS: This is my first attent at package development experience, I mainly
follow http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/

regards

frederic Clement

----- the script----

.onAttach <- function(libname = find.package("dbName"), pkgname = "dbName")
{
  packageStartupMessage("Intranet Company required")

  dbNameConPool = dbName_create_pool()
  assign("dbNameConPool", dbNameConPool, envir =
as.environment("package:dbName"))
}


## This is a function so that I can call it in .onAttach
##
dbName_create_pool = function(){

    DBI::dbConnect(drv = RPostgreSQL::PostgreSQL(),
                 user = "dbName",
                 password = .rs.askForPassword("Enter password:"),
                 port = 0000,
                 host = "dbName-int.company.com")
}
