dbSendQuery
and dbSendUpdate
submit a SQL query to the
database. The difference between the two is only that
dbSendUpdate
is used with DBML queries and thus doesn't return
any result set.
dbGetTables
and dbGetFields
are similar to
dbListTables
and dbListFields
but the result is a data
frame with all available details (whereas the latter return only a
character vector of the names).
dbSendUpdate (conn, statement, ...)
dbGetTables (conn, ...)
dbGetFields (conn, ...)
