open.DBIsvydesign: Open and close DBI connections

In survey: Analysis of Complex Survey Samples

Open and close DBI connections

Description

A database-backed survey design object contains a connection to a database. This connection will be broken if the object is saved and reloaded, and the connection should ideally be closed with close before quitting R (although it doesn't matter for SQLite connections). The connection can be reopened with open.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'DBIsvydesign'
open(con, ...)
## S3 method for class 'DBIsvydesign'
close(con, ...)

Arguments

con	Object of class DBIsvydesign
...	Other options, to be passed to dbConnect or dbDisconnect.

Value

The same survey design object with the connection opened or closed.
