truncate_layer {arcgislayers}

Truncate a Feature Layer

Description

Removes all features in a Feature Layer or Table and resets the object ID counter. Truncating a Feature Layer does not change the schema of the data (does not add, remove, or alter existing database columns, constraints, or indexes).

Usage

truncate_layer(x, async = FALSE, attachment_only = FALSE, token = arc_token())

Arguments

x

an object of class FeatureLayer, Table, or ImageServer.

async

default FALSE. It is recommended to set TRUE for larger datasets.

attachment_only

default FALSE. Deletes all the attachments for this layer. None of the layer features will be deleted when TRUE.

token

your authorization token.

Value

a named list with the name "success" and a value of TRUE or FALSE
