\name{dbReadTableArrow}
\alias{dbReadTableArrow}
\title{Read database tables as Arrow objects}
\usage{
dbReadTableArrow(conn, name, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{conn}{A \linkS4class{DBIConnection} object, as returned by
\code{\link[=dbConnect]{dbConnect()}}.}
\item{name}{The table name, passed on to \code{\link[=dbQuoteIdentifier]{dbQuoteIdentifier()}}. Options are:
\itemize{
\item a character string with the unquoted DBMS table name,
e.g. \code{"table_name"},
\item a call to \code{\link[=Id]{Id()}} with components to the fully qualified table name,
e.g. \code{Id(schema = "my_schema", table = "table_name")}
\item a call to \code{\link[=SQL]{SQL()}} with the quoted and fully qualified table name
given verbatim, e.g. \code{SQL('"my_schema"."table_name"')}
}}
\item{...}{Other parameters passed on to methods.}
}
\value{
\code{dbReadTableArrow()} returns an Arrow object that contains the complete data
from the remote table, effectively the result of calling \code{\link[=dbGetQueryArrow]{dbGetQueryArrow()}} with
\verb{SELECT * FROM <name>}.
An empty table is returned as an Arrow object with zero rows.
}
\description{
\ifelse{html}{\href{https://lifecycle.r-lib.org/articles/stages.html#experimental}{\figure{lifecycle-experimental.svg}{options: alt='[Experimental]'}}}{\strong{[Experimental]}}
Reads a database table as an Arrow object.
Use \code{\link[=dbReadTable]{dbReadTable()}} instead to obtain a data frame.
\Sexpr[results=rd,stage=render]{DBI:::methods_as_rd("dbReadTableArrow")}
}
\details{
This function returns an Arrow object.
Convert it to a data frame with \code{\link[=as.data.frame]{as.data.frame()}} or
use \code{\link[=dbReadTable]{dbReadTable()}} to obtain a data frame.
}
\section{Failure modes}{
An error is raised if the table does not exist.
An error is raised when calling this method for a closed
or invalid connection.
An error is raised
if \code{name} cannot be processed with \code{\link[=dbQuoteIdentifier]{dbQuoteIdentifier()}} or
if this results in a non-scalar.
}
\section{Specification}{
The \code{name} argument is processed as follows,
to support databases that allow non-syntactic names for their objects:
\itemize{
\item If an unquoted table name as string: \code{dbReadTableArrow()} will do the
quoting,
perhaps by calling \code{dbQuoteIdentifier(conn, x = name)}
\item If the result of a call to \code{\link[=dbQuoteIdentifier]{dbQuoteIdentifier()}}: no more quoting is done
}
}
