In DatabaseConnector: Connecting to Various Database Platforms

Execute a data manipulation statement on a given database connection

Description

The dbSendStatement() method only submits and synchronously executes the SQL data manipulation statement (e.g., UPDATE, DELETE, ⁠INSERT INTO⁠, ⁠DROP TABLE⁠, ...) to the database engine. To query the number of affected rows, call dbGetRowsAffected() on the returned result object. You must also call dbClearResult() after that. For interactive use, you should almost always prefer dbExecute().

\Sexpr[results=rd,stage=render]{DBI:::methods_as_rd("dbSendStatement")}

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'DatabaseConnectorConnection,character'
dbSendStatement(conn, statement, translate = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

conn	A DBIConnection object, as returned by dbConnect().
statement	a character string containing SQL.
translate	Translate the query using SqlRender?
...	Other parameters passed on to methods.

Details

dbSendStatement() comes with a default implementation that simply forwards to dbSendQuery(), to support backends that only implement the latter.

Value

dbSendStatement() returns an S4 object that inherits from DBIResult. The result set can be used with dbGetRowsAffected() to determine the number of rows affected by the query. Once you have finished using a result, make sure to clear it with dbClearResult().
