R/dbSetDataMappings.R

In rstats-db/DBI: R Database Interface

#' Set data mappings between an DBMS and R.
#'
#' This generic is deprecated since no working implementation was ever produced.
#'
#' Sets one or more conversion functions to handle the translation of DBMS data
#' types to R objects.  This is only needed for non-primitive data, since all
#' DBI drivers handle the common base types (integers, numeric, strings, etc.)
#'
#' The details on conversion functions (e.g., arguments, whether they can invoke
#' initializers and/or destructors) have not been specified.
