Arguments

layer	(character) Identifier of the data product. See mrp_list
colname	(character) Column name in the data product. See mrp_colnames()

Details

This function becomes useful to write CQL or OGC filters that you can pass to mrp_get() or mrp_view() as it helps to know all the possible values in the column name that you want to query on beforehand. Use it together with mrp_colnames() to know the columns and data types in the data product.

Geometry columns

Note that columns of type geometry are forbidden as their performance is sub-optimal and would likely crash your R session.

Value

A numeric or character vector with the unique values of a column of a Marine Regions data product.

See Also
