Save Andromeda to file

Saves the Andromeda object in a zipped file. Note that by default the Andromeda object is automatically closed by saving it to disk. This is due to a limitation of the underlying technology ('RSQLite'). To keep the connection open, use maintainConnection = TRUE. This will first create a temporary copy of the Andromeda object. Note that this can be substantially slower.

saveAndromeda(
  andromeda,
  fileName,
  maintainConnection = FALSE,
  overwrite = TRUE
)

Arguments

andromeda: An object of class Andromeda.
fileName: The path where the object will be written.
maintainConnection: Should the connection be maintained after saving? If FALSE, the Andromeda object will be invalid after this operation, but saving will be faster.
overwrite: If the file exists, should it be overwritten? If FALSE and the file exists, an error will be thrown.

Value

Returns no value. Executed for the side-effect of saving the object to disk.

Examples

andr <- andromeda(cars = cars)

# For this example we'll use a temporary file location:
fileName <- tempfile()

saveAndromeda(andr, fileName)
#> Disconnected Andromeda. This data object can no longer be used

# Cleaning up the file used in this example:
unlink(fileName)
