  host = db_host(),
  token = db_token(),
  perform_request = TRUE
)

Arguments

handle	Handle on an open stream.
data	Either a path for file on local system or a character/raw vector that will be base64-encoded. This has a limit of 1 MB.
convert_to_raw	Boolean (Default: FALSE), if TRUE will convert character vector to raw via base::as.raw().

Details

• If the handle does not exist, this call will throw an exception with RESOURCE_DOES_NOT_EXIST.

• If the block of data exceeds 1 MB, this call will throw an exception with MAX_BLOCK_SIZE_EXCEEDED.

Typical File Upload Flow

• Make one or more db_dbfs_add_block() calls with the handle you have

• Call db_dbfs_close() with the handle you have
