Usage

st_read_db(
  conn = NULL,
  table = NULL,
  query = NULL,
  geom_column = NULL,
  EWKB = TRUE,
  ...
)
st_write_db(
  conn = NULL,
  obj,
  table = deparse(substitute(obj)),
  ...,
  drop = FALSE,
  append = FALSE
)

Arguments

conn

open database connection

table

table name

query

SQL query to select records; see details

geom_column

deprecated. Geometry column name

EWKB

logical; is the WKB of type EWKB? if missing, defaults to TRUE

...

parameter(s) passed on to st_as_sf

Details

The geom_column argument is deprecated. The function will automatically find the geometry type columns. For the RPostgreSQL drivers it will try to cast all the character columns, which can be long for very wide tables.
