SQL set operations

Source: R/verb-set-ops.R

These are methods for the dplyr generics dplyr::intersect(), dplyr::union(), and dplyr::setdiff(). They are translated to INTERSECT, UNION, and EXCEPT respectively.

# S3 method for tbl_lazy
intersect(x, y, copy = FALSE, ..., all = FALSE)

# S3 method for tbl_lazy
union(x, y, copy = FALSE, ..., all = FALSE)

# S3 method for tbl_lazy
union_all(x, y, copy = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for tbl_lazy
setdiff(x, y, copy = FALSE, ..., all = FALSE)

Arguments

x

A pair of lazy data frames backed by database queries.
y

A pair of lazy data frames backed by database queries.
copy

If x and y are not from the same data source, and copy is TRUE, then y will be copied into a temporary table in same database as x. *_join() will automatically run ANALYZE on the created table in the hope that this will make you queries as efficient as possible by giving more data to the query planner.

This allows you to join tables across srcs, but it's potentially expensive operation so you must opt into it.
