Examples

## Not run: 
#to check if the db file exist in the directory (default working directory)

eppo_database_check(filepath = getwd())

#to download EPPO SQLite database into directory (default working directory).
#If you are Windows user, after download finishes you will need to unzip file
#manualy.

eppo_database_download(filepath = getwd())

#prior to use functions that check pest names in SQLite database,
#you need to set up connection to SQLite database. Doing so is
#straightforward with function below (once per sesion):

eppo_connection <- eppo_database_connect(filepath = getwd(),
                                         filename = "eppocodes.sqlite")
