R: Insert rows into a table

sqlAppendTable {DBI}

R Documentation

Insert rows into a table

Description

sqlAppendTable generates a single SQL string that inserts a data frame into an existing table. sqlAppendTableTemplate generates a template suitable for use with dbBind(). These methods are mostly useful for backend implementers.

Usage

sqlAppendTable(con, table, values, row.names = NA, ...)

sqlAppendTableTemplate(con, table, values, row.names = NA, prefix = "?",
  ...)

Arguments

`con`	A database connection.
`table`	Name of the table. Escaped with `dbQuoteIdentifier()`.
`values`	A data frame. Factors will be converted to character vectors. Character vectors will be escaped with `dbQuoteString()`.
`row.names`	Either `TRUE`, `FALSE`, `NA` or a string. If `TRUE`, always translate row names to a column called "row_names". If `FALSE`, never translate row names. If `NA`, translate rownames only if they're a character vector. A string is equivalent to `TRUE`, but allows you to override the default name. For backward compatibility, `NULL` is equivalent to `FALSE`.
`...`	Other arguments used by individual methods.
`prefix`	Parameter prefix to put in front of column id.

Examples

sqlAppendTable(ANSI(), "iris", head(iris))

sqlAppendTable(ANSI(), "mtcars", head(mtcars))
sqlAppendTable(ANSI(), "mtcars", head(mtcars), row.names = FALSE)
sqlAppendTableTemplate(ANSI(), "iris", iris)

sqlAppendTableTemplate(ANSI(), "mtcars", mtcars)
sqlAppendTableTemplate(ANSI(), "mtcars", mtcars, row.names = FALSE)
