dbFetch_AdbiResult {adbi}

Fetch result sets

Description

When fetching results using dbFetch(), the argument n can be specified to control chunk size per fetching operation. The default value of -1 corresponds to retrieving the entire result set at once, while a positive integer will try returning as many rows (as long as n does not exceed the available number of rows), in line with standard DBI expectations. As data transfer is mediated by Arrow data structures, which are retrieved as array chunks, the underlying chunk size can be used by passing an n value NA.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'AdbiResult'
dbFetch(res, n = -1, ...)

Arguments

res

An object inheriting from DBIResult, created by dbSendQuery().

n

maximum number of records to retrieve per fetch. Use n = -1 or n = Inf to retrieve all pending records. Some implementations may recognize other special values.

...

Other arguments passed on to methods.

Value

A data.frame with the requested number of rows (or zero rows if dbFetch() is called on a result set with no more remaining rows).

Examples

if (requireNamespace("adbcsqlite")) {
  library(DBI)
  con <- dbConnect(adbi::adbi("adbcsqlite"), uri = ":memory:")
  dbWriteTable(con, "swiss", swiss)
  res <- dbSendQuery(con, "SELECT * from swiss WHERE Agriculture < 30")
  dbFetch(res)
  dbClearResult(res)
  dbDisconnect(con)
}
