Description

Filing this because I am considering adding it: Create a set of scripts that will add the MIMIC-III concepts views to the Sqlite3 version of the database.

Has anyone tried this before, and if so any encountered difficulties? I'm having some initial success just with regexp-ing the Postgres scripts, though that may or may not be a practical solution for the whole task. Sqlite does not have functions/procedures, so some things might have to be done with python functions--which would preclude embedding them into materialized views (pretty sure), however, simply building the concepts entities as static tables may be an acceptable solution for the kinds of use cases you'd want to use this data and Sqlite for. Or maybe regexping the Postgres/BigQuery SQL will get me to views in Sqlite3 dialect.
