SQL function not working when trying to write table to non-default schema

Question

I am trying to write a table to a non-default schema in SQL Server 2017. I am using RStudio\'s documentation as to what the best practice is for doing this: https://db.rstud

Answer 1

DBI 1.1.0 overcomes this issue.

dbWriteTable(con, SQL("schema.newTbleIris"), iris)

Answer 2

In my case, doing dbWriteTable(con, "[schema].newTbleIris", iris) without wrapping any function around worked.

Answer 3

I've found an easy workaround for this. Just follow through these steps:

First, write your table with a default schema: dbWriteTable(con, "newTbleIris", iris)

And insert it into a new one with a non-default schema, but this time using the dbGetQuery function:

dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT * INTO [schema].newTbleIris FROM newTbleIris")

And that's it! Your table will now appear with a non-default schema.

Now you can remove the first table you first created with a default schema by doing dbGetQuery(con, "DROP TABLE newTbleIris")
