  ...
)

Arguments

dataVector	the data to be converted: integer, numeric or character. Other data types have not been tested
collapseChar	the character to be used as seperator in the end result. Note: this seperator should not be present in the dataVector (especially after transformation) as it will give problems when using the DBToVector function.
formatNumbers	boolean specifying whether the dataVector should be formatted using the base::format function
