project_add: Create a New Project

Description

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)

Value

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

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.

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

# Not run:
# Create a project with default memory

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

# Verify project was created
project_list()
