DBI (version 1.2.2)

dbSetDataMappings: Set data mappings between an DBMS and R.

Description

This generic is deprecated since no working implementation was ever produced.

Usage

dbSetDataMappings(res, flds, ...)

Arguments

res

An object inheriting from DBIResult.

flds

a field description object as returned by dbColumnInfo.

...

Other arguments passed on to methods.

Details

Sets one or more conversion functions to handle the translation of DBMS data types to R objects. This is only needed for non-primitive data, since all DBI drivers handle the common base types (integers, numeric, strings, etc.)

The details on conversion functions (e.g., arguments, whether they can invoke initializers and/or destructors) have not been specified.
