connection_info: Browse available connections

In sqlhelper: Easier 'SQL' Integration

Browse available connections

Description

Provides information about created connections.

Usage

connection_info(name_str = ".*", exact = TRUE)

Arguments

name_str	A regular expression to be used to identify connection names to include. The default ('.*') returns all of them.
exact	TRUE or FALSE. Should name_str match the name of a connection exactly? TRUE will identify only 1 connection if name_str does not contain any metacharacters

Value

Null, or a tibble with 1 row per identified connection and the following fields:

name

identifier (character)

description

a description of the connection, if found in the conf file (character)

live

is this connection valid and live? (logical)

driver

the name of the driver function (character)

conn_str

the string used to parameterize the connection (character)

pool

is this a pool connection? (logical)

If no connection names matched name_str, the tibble will be empty. If no connections have been configured (e.g. connect() has not been called), NULL is returned.

Examples

library(sqlhelper)

connect(
    system.file(
        "examples/sqlhelper_db_conf.yml",
        package="sqlhelper"
        ),
    exclusive=TRUE
   )
