rquery (version 0.5.0)

rq_coltypes: Get column types by example values as a data.frame.

Description

Example values not necissarily all from same row. Taking values from different rows is to try to work around NA not carrying type/class info in many cases.

Usage

rq_coltypes(db, table_name, ..., prefer_not_NA = FALSE, force_check = FALSE)

Arguments

db

Connection handle.

table_name

character table name refering to a non-empty table.

...

force later arguments to bind by name.

prefer_not_NA

logical, if TRUE try to find an non-NA example for all columns (FALSE just for logical columns).

force_check

logical, if TRUE perform checks regardless of check_logical_column_types option setting.

Value

single row data.frame with example values, not all values necessarily from same database row.

Examples
