dplyr (version 0.4.2)

backend_db: Database generics.

Description

These generics execute actions on the database. All generics have a method for DBIConnection which typically just call the standard DBI S4 method.

Usage

db_list_tables(con)
db_has_table(con, table)
db_data_type(con, fields)
db_save_query(con, sql, name, temporary = TRUE, ...)
db_begin(con, ...)
db_commit(con, ...)
db_rollback(con, ...)
db_create_table(con, table, types, temporary = FALSE, ...)
db_insert_into(con, table, values, ...)
db_create_index(con, table, columns, name = NULL, ...)
db_drop_table(con, table, force = FALSE, ...)
db_analyze(con, table, ...)
db_explain(con, sql, ...)
db_query_fields(con, sql, ...)
db_query_rows(con, sql, ...)

Arguments

con

A database connection.

table

A string, the table name.

fields

A list of fields, as in a data frame.

Value

A logical value indicating success. Most failures should generate an error.

copy_to

Currently, the only user of sql_begin(), sql_commit(), sql_rollback(), sql_create_table(), sql_insert_into(), sql_create_indexes(), sql_drop_table() and sql_analyze(). If you find yourself overriding many of these functions it may suggest that you should just override copy_to instead.
