survey (version 3.31-2)

open.DBIsvydesign: Open and close DBI connections

Description

A database-backed survey design object contains a connection to a database. This connection will be broken if the object is saved and reloaded, and the connection should ideally be closed with close before quitting R (although it doesn't matter for SQLite connections). The connection can be reopened with open.

Other options, to be passed to dbConnect or dbDisconnect, or odbcReConnect or odbcDisconnect
