Fetch records from a previously executed query

This method is a straight-forward implementation of the corresponding generic function.

Methods

res

an PostgreSQLResult object.

n

maximum number of records to retrieve per fetch. Use n = -1 to retrieve all pending records; use a value of n = 0 for fetching the default number of rows fetch.default.rec defined in the PostgreSQL initialization invocation.

...

currently not used.

Details

The RPostgreSQL implementations retrieves only n records, and if n is missing it only returns up to fetch.default.rec as specified in the call to PostgreSQL (500 by default).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
drv <- dbDriver("PostgreSQL")
con <- dbConnect(drv, user = "ruser",password = "123456",dbname = "status")
res <- dbSendQuery(con, statement = paste(
                      "SELECT w.category, w.cost, p.type",
                      "FROM items w, sales P",
                      "WHERE w.category = p.type",
                      "ORDER BY w.cost"))
# we now fetch the first 100 records from the resultSet into a data.frame
data1 <- fetch(res, n = 100)   
dim(data1)

dbHasCompleted(res)

# let's get all remaining records
data2 <- fetch(res, n = -1)
} # }
