These generics translate individual values into SQL. The core
generics are DBI::dbQuoteIdentifier() and DBI::dbQuoteString
for quoting identifiers and strings, but dbplyr needs additional
tools for inserting logical, date, date-time, and raw values into
queries.
Usage
sql_escape_logical(con, x)
sql_escape_date(con, x)
sql_escape_datetime(con, x)
sql_escape_raw(con, x)See also
Other generic:
db-sql,
db_connection_describe(),
db_copy_to()
Examples
con <- simulate_dbi()
sql_escape_logical(con, c(TRUE, FALSE, NA))
#> [1] "TRUE" "FALSE" "NULL"
sql_escape_date(con, Sys.Date())
#> [1] "'2024-12-04'"
sql_escape_date(con, Sys.time())
#> [1] "'2024-12-04 14:29:19.325565'"
sql_escape_raw(con, charToRaw("hi"))
#> [1] "X'6869'"
