Description Usage Arguments Details See Also Examples

'sqlReplaceInTable()' generates a single SQL string that inserts a data frame into an existing table. 'sqlReplaceTableTemplate()' generates a template suitable for use with [dbBind()]. The default methods are MariaDB, MySQL compliant. These methods are mostly useful for backend implementers.

sqlReplaceInTable(con, table, values, row.names = NA, ...)

sqlReplaceInTableTemplate(con, table, values, row.names = NA,
  prefix = "?", ..., pattern = "")

`con`	A database connection.
`table`	Name of the table. Escaped with `dbQuoteIdentifier()`.
`values`	A data frame. Factors will be converted to character vectors. Character vectors will be escaped with [dbQuoteString()].
`row.names`	Either `TRUE`, `FALSE`, `NA` or a string. If `TRUE`, always translate row names to a column called "row_names". If `FALSE`, never translate row names. If `NA`, translate rownames only if they're a character vector. A string is equivalent to `TRUE`, but allows you to override the default name. For backward compatibility, `NULL` is equivalent to `FALSE`.
`...`	Other arguments used by individual methods.
`prefix`	Parameter prefix to use for placeholders.
`pattern`	Parameter pattern to use for placeholders: - '""': no pattern - '"1"': position - anything else: field name

The 'row.names' argument must be passed explicitly in order to avoid a compatibility warning. The default will be changed in a later release.

Other SQL generation: sqlAddIndex, sqlAlterTableWithPrimaryKey, sqlDeleteAllRecords, sqlOnClause, sqlSetClause, sqlUpdateTable
