idadf,idaSave,idaUpdate {ibmdbR}

Query, store and update data in the database.

Description

These functions allow to query, store and update data in the database. Usually, it is easier to use idaQuery,ida.data.frame and as.ida.data.frame instead of these methods.

They can be useful, however, if an explicit connection object is needed, e.g. if there are several connections to different databases.

Usage

idadf(idaConn, query)
idaSave(idaConn, dfrm, tblName = "", rowName = "", conType = "odbc")
idaUpdate(db2Conn, updf, dfrm, idaIndex = "", conType = "odbc")

Arguments

idaConn

The IDA connection object.

db2Conn

The IDA connection object.

query

A query.

dfrm

A data.frame to store.

tblName

Name of the table to which to store the data.

rowName

Name of the row name column.

updf

Name of the table to update.

idaIndex

Name of the index column.

conType

Type of the connection.

Details

idadf,idaSave and idaUpdate are simple wrappers around the RODBC functions sqlQuery, sqlSave and sqlUpdate.

Usually, it is easier to use idaQuery,ida.data.frame and as.ida.data.frame instead of these methods.
