opal.table_import {opalr}R Documentation

Import a file as table

Description

Import a file as a table in Opal. The file formats supported are: RDS (.rds), SPSS (.sav), SPSS compressed (.zsav), SAS (.sas7bdat), SAS Transport (.xpt), Stata (.dta). The RDS format is a serialized single R object (expected to be of tibble class), that can be obtained using base::saveRDS(). The other file formats are the ones supported by the haven R package. This operation creates an importation task in Opal that can be followed (see tasks related functions).

Usage

opal.table_import(
  opal,
  file,
  project,
  table,
  identifiers = NULL,
  policy = "required",
  id.name = "id",
  type = "Participant",
  wait = TRUE
)

Arguments

opal

Opal object.

file

Path in Opal to the file that will be read as a tibble.

project

policy

id.name

The name of the column representing the entity identifiers. Default is 'id'.

type

Entity type (what the data are about). Default is 'Participant'.

wait
