save_flobs: Save flobs.

In dbflobr: Read and Write Files to SQLite Databases

Save flobs.

Description

Rename flobs from a SQLite database BLOB column and save to directory.

Usage

save_flobs(
  column_name,
  table_name,
  conn,
  dir = ".",
  sep = "_-_",
  sub = FALSE,
  replace = FALSE,
  slob_ext = NULL
)

Arguments

column_name	A string of the name of the BLOB column.
table_name	A string of the name of the existing table.
conn	A SQLite connection object.
dir	A string of the path to the directory to save the files in.
sep	A string of the separator used to construct file names from values.
sub	A logical scalar specifying whether to save all existing files in a subdirectory of the same name (sub = TRUE) or all possible files in a subdirectory of the same name (sub = NA) or not nest files within a subdirectory (sub = FALSE).
replace	A flag specifying whether to replace existing files. If sub = TRUE (or sub = NA) and replace = TRUE then all existing files within a subdirectory are deleted.
slob_ext	A string of the file extension to use if slobs (serialized blobs) are encountered. If slob_ext = NULL slobs will be ignored.

Value

An invisible named vector of the file names and new file names saved.

Examples

flob <- flobr::flob_obj
conn <- DBI::dbConnect(RSQLite::SQLite(), ":memory:")
DBI::dbGetQuery(conn, "CREATE TABLE Table1 (IntColumn INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL)")
DBI::dbWriteTable(conn, "Table1", data.frame(IntColumn = c(1L, 2L)), append = TRUE)
key <- data.frame(IntColumn = 2L)
write_flob(flob, "BlobColumn", "Table1", key, conn, exists = FALSE)
dir <- tempdir()
save_flobs("BlobColumn", "Table1", conn, dir)
DBI::dbDisconnect(conn)
