odb.close: Closes an "ODB" connection and updates the .odb file
In ODB: Open Document Databases (.odb) Management

Description Usage Arguments Value Note Author(s) See Also Examples

Closes the connection to the embedded HSQLDB, removing temporary files and updating the .odb file if asked to do so.

1	odb.close(odb, write = TRUE)

`odb`	An `ODB` object, as produced by `odb.open`.
`write`	Single logical value, defining if the modifications has to be saved in the original .odb file or not. Notice they will be definitively lost if closing with write=FALSE.

Invisibly returns TRUE if succeeds, raises an error if not.

To take data in a first file and save it in an other, copy the file before using odb.open.

odb.open

  # New empty .odb file
  odbFile <- tempfile(fileext=".odb")
  odb.create(odbFile, overwrite="do")
  odb <- odb.open(odbFile)
  
  # New table
  odb.write(odb, "CREATE TABLE fruits (name VARCHAR(6) PRIMARY KEY)")
  odb.insert(odb, "fruits", c("banana", "pear", "peach"))
  
  # Writes to the file and closes the connection
  odb.close(odb, write=TRUE)
