Assign a table

Assign a DSLite dataset in the DataSHIELD R session.

# S4 method for DSLiteConnection
dsAssignTable(
  conn,
  symbol,
  table,
  variables = NULL,
  missings = FALSE,
  identifiers = NULL,
  id.name = NULL,
  async = TRUE
)

Arguments

conn

DSLiteConnection-class object.

symbol

Name of the R symbol.

table

Fully qualified name of a dataset living in the DSLite server.

variables

The variable names to be filtered in.

missings

Ignored.

identifiers

Name of the identifiers mapping to use when assigning entities to R (currently NOT supported by DSLite).

id.name

Name of the column that will contain the entity identifiers. If not specified, the identifiers will be the data frame row names. When specified this column can be used to perform joins between data frames.

async

Whether the result of the call should be retrieved asynchronously. When TRUE (default) the calls are parallelized over the connections, when the connection supports that feature, with an extra overhead of requests.

Value

A DSLiteResult-class object.
