copy_table {bigrquery}R Documentation

Copy one or more source tables to a destination table.

Description

Each source table and the destination table should be table references, that is, lists with exactly three entries: project_id, dataset_id, and table_id.

Usage

copy_table(src, dest, create_disposition = "CREATE_IF_NEEDED",
  write_disposition = "WRITE_EMPTY", project = NULL, ...)

Arguments

src

either a single table reference, or a list of table references

dest

destination table

create_disposition

behavior for table creation if the destination already exists. defaults to "CREATE_IF_NEEDED", the only other supported value is "CREATE_NEVER"; see the API documentation for more information

write_disposition
