Render, translate, and query to data.frame

This function renders, and translates SQL, sends it to the server, and returns the results as a data.frame.

renderTranslateQuerySql(
  connection,
  sql,
  errorReportFile = file.path(getwd(), "errorReportSql.txt"),
  snakeCaseToCamelCase = FALSE,
  oracleTempSchema = NULL,
  tempEmulationSchema = getOption("sqlRenderTempEmulationSchema"),
  integerAsNumeric = getOption("databaseConnectorIntegerAsNumeric", default = TRUE),
  integer64AsNumeric = getOption("databaseConnectorInteger64AsNumeric", default = TRUE),
  ...
)

Arguments

connection

The connection to the database server created using either connect() or dbConnect().

sql

The SQL to be send.

errorReportFile

The file where an error report will be written if an error occurs. Defaults to 'errorReportSql.txt' in the current working directory.

snakeCaseToCamelCase

If true, field names are assumed to use snake_case, and are converted to camelCase.

oracleTempSchema

DEPRECATED: use tempEmulationSchema instead.

tempEmulationSchema

Some database platforms like Oracle and Impala do not truly support temp tables. To emulate temp tables, provide a schema with write privileges where temp tables can be created.

integerAsNumeric

Logical: should 32-bit integers be converted to numeric (double) values? If FALSE 32-bit integers will be represented using R's native Integer class.

integer64AsNumeric

Logical: should 64-bit integers be converted to numeric (double) values? If FALSE 64-bit integers will be represented using bit64::integer64.

...

Parameters that will be used to render the SQL.

Value

A data frame.

Details

This function calls the render and translate functions in the SqlRender package before calling querySql().

Examples

if (FALSE) {
connectionDetails <- createConnectionDetails(
  dbms = "postgresql",
  server = "localhost",
  user = "root",
  password = "blah",
  schema = "cdm_v4"
)
conn <- connect(connectionDetails)
persons <- renderTranslatequerySql(conn,
  sql = "SELECT TOP 10 * FROM @schema.person",
  schema = "cdm_synpuf"
)
disconnect(conn)
}
