# Make sure to include 'tdplyr' in the path. For example, <r_pkg_install_location>/tdplyr.
tdplyr_install_location <- "<tdplyr_install_location>"

# Replace "<schema_name>" with the name of the schema to search the file for.
schema_name <- "<schema_name>"

set_session <- gettextf('SET SESSION SEARCHUIFDBPATH = "%s";', schema_name)
script_command <- gettextf("Rscript ./%s/mapper.R", schema_name)

# Get remote data source connection.
con <- td_get_context()$connection

# Set Search path, which is necessary for runninng td_execute_script() function.
dbExecute(con, dplyr::sql(set_session))

# Load example data.
loadExampleData("script_example", "barrier")

# Create object(s) of class "tbl_teradata".
barrier <- tbl(con, "barrier")

# Create a ScriptTableOperator object that allows us to execute user script in Vantage.
