Read a Data Stream from an open DB Query

Description

A DSD class that reads a data stream from an open DB result set from a relational database with using R's data base interface (DBI).

Usage

DSD_ReadDB(
  result,
  k = NA,
  outofpoints = c("warn", "ignore", "stop"),
  description = NULL
)

## S3 method for class 'DSD_ReadDB'
close_stream(dsd, disconnect = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

result

An open DBI result set.

k

Number of true clusters, if known.

outofpoints

Action taken if less than n data points are available. The default is to return the available data points with a warning. Other supported actions are:

  • warn: return the available points (maybe an empty data.frame) with a warning.

  • ignore: silently return the available points.

  • stop: stop with an error.

description

a character string describing the data.

dsd

a stream.

disconnect

logical; disconnect from the database?

...

further arguments.

Details

This class provides a streaming interface for result sets from a data base with via DBI::DBI. You need to connect to the data base and submit a SQL query using DBI::dbGetQuery() to obtain a result set. Make sure that your query only includes the columns that should be included in the stream (including class and outlier marking columns).

Closing and resetting the stream

Do not forget to clear the result set and disconnect from the data base connection. close_stream() clears the query result with DBI::dbClearResult() and the disconnects from the database with DBI::dbDisconnect(). Disconnecting can be prevented by calling close_stream() with disconnect = FALSE.

reset_stream() is not available for this type of stream.

Additional information

If additional information is available (e.g., class information), then the SQL statement needs to make sure that the columns have the appropriate name starting with .. See Examples section below.

Value

An object of class DSD_ReadDB (subclass of DSD_R, DSD).

Examples

### create a data base with a table with 3 Gaussians
if(require("RSQLite")) {

library("RSQLite")
con <- dbConnect(RSQLite::SQLite(), ":memory:")

points <- get_points(DSD_Gaussians(k = 3, d = 2), n = 110)
head(points)

dbWriteTable(con, "Gaussians", points)

### prepare a query result set. Make sure that the additional information
### column starts with .
res <- dbSendQuery(con, "SELECT X1, X2, `.class` AS '.class' FROM Gaussians")
res

### create a stream interface to the result set
stream <- DSD_ReadDB(res, k = 3)
stream

### get points
get_points(stream, n = 5)

plot(stream, n = 100)

### close stream clears the query and disconnects the database
close_stream(stream)
}
