List remote tables
Description
Returns the unquoted names of remote tables accessible through this connection. This should include views and temporary objects, but not all database backends (in particular RMariaDB and RMySQL) support this.
Usage
dbListTables(conn, ...)
Arguments
conn |
A DBIConnection object, as returned by
|
... |
Other parameters passed on to methods. |
Value
dbListTables()
returns a character vector
that enumerates all tables
and views
in the database.
Tables added with dbWriteTable() are
part of the list.
As soon a table is removed from the database,
it is also removed from the list of database tables.
The same applies to temporary tables if supported by the database.
The returned names are suitable for quoting with dbQuoteIdentifier().
Failure modes
An error is raised when calling this method for a closed or invalid connection.
