newDataset | R Documentation |
This function creates a new dataset on the Crunch server with either a data.frame or similar object in your R session, a file, or a URL to a file. It captures available metadata from your R object and translates it into Crunch types.
newDataset(x, name = NULL, ...)

character name to give the new Crunch dataset. By default the function uses the name of the R object, or, if passing a file, the file name. |

If you have an SPSS file, it is better specify the file name directly rather than first reading it into R. Uploading SPSS files directly to Crunch will preserve metadata that is stripped by the R import, regardless of the library used to read it into R.
If you have Triple-S files, you can import those directly to Crunch like you
can with SPSS files. You should use the filename to the data file (ending in
.asc
or .dat
) as the x
argument and use the metadata file (ending in
.sss
or .xml
) as the schema
argument.
If successful, an object of class CrunchDataset.
