Backends compliant to ANSI SQL 99 don't need to override it. Backends with a different SQL syntax can override <code>sqlCreateTable()</code>, backends with entirely different ways to create tables need to override this method. </p> <h3>Usage</h3> <pre> dbCreateTable(conn, name, fields, ..., row.names = NULL, temporary = FALSE) </pre> <h3>Arguments</h3> <table summary="R argblock"> <tr valign="top"><td><code>conn</code></td> <td> <p>A <a href="DBIConnection-class.html">DBIConnection</a> object, as returned by <code><a href="dbConnect.html">dbConnect()</a></code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>name</code></td> <td> <p>Name of the table, escaped with <code><a href="dbQuoteIdentifier.html">dbQuoteIdentifier()</a></code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>fields</code></td> <td> <p>Either a character vector or a data frame. </p> <p>A named character vector: Names are column names, values are types. Names are escaped with <code><a href="dbQuoteIdentifier.html">dbQuoteIdentifier()</a></code>. Field types are unescaped. </p> <p>A data frame: field types are generated using <code><a href="dbDataType.html">dbDataType()</a></code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>...</code></td> <td> <p>Other arguments used by individual methods.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>row.names</code></td> <td> <p>Must be <code>NULL</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>temporary</code></td> <td> <p>If <code>TRUE</code>, will generate a temporary table statement.</p> </td></tr> </table> <h3>Details</h3> <p>The <code>row.names</code> argument is not supported by this method. Process the values with <code><a href="rownames.html">sqlRownamesToColumn()</a></code> before calling this method. </p> <p>The argument order is different from the <code>sqlCreateTable()</code> method, the latter will be adapted in a later release of DBI. </p> <h3>See Also</h3> <p>Other DBIConnection generics: <code><a href="DBIConnection-class.html">DBIConnection-class</a></code>, <code><a href="dbAppendTable.html">dbAppendTable</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbDataType.html">dbDataType</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbDisconnect.html">dbDisconnect</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbExecute.html">dbExecute</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbExistsTable.html">dbExistsTable</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbGetException.html">dbGetException</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbGetInfo.html">dbGetInfo</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbGetQuery.html">dbGetQuery</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbIsReadOnly.html">dbIsReadOnly</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbIsValid.html">dbIsValid</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbListFields.html">dbListFields</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbListObjects.html">dbListObjects</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbListResults.html">dbListResults</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbListTables.html">dbListTables</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbReadTable.html">dbReadTable</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbRemoveTable.html">dbRemoveTable</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbSendQuery.html">dbSendQuery</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbSendStatement.html">dbSendStatement</a>()</code>, <code><a href="dbWriteTable.html">dbWriteTable</a>()</code> </p> <h3>Examples</h3> <pre> con <- dbConnect(RSQLite::SQLite(), ":memory:") dbCreateTable(con, "iris", iris) dbReadTable(con, "iris") dbDisconnect(con) </pre> <hr /><div style="text-align: center;">[Package <em>DBI</em> version 1.1.0 <a href="00Index.html">Index</a>]</div> </body></html>
