ConnectorDBI: Uses DBI::dbRemoveTable() to remove the table from a DBI connection.

ConnectorFS: Uses fs::file_delete() to delete the file.

Usage

remove_cnt(connector_object, name, ...)

# S3 method for class 'ConnectorDBI'
remove_cnt(connector_object, name, ...)

# S3 method for class 'ConnectorFS'
remove_cnt(connector_object, name, ...)

Arguments

connector_object: Connector The connector object to use.
name: character Name of the content to read, write, or remove. Typically the table name.
...: Additional arguments passed to the method for the individual connector.

Examples

# Remove table in a DBI database
cnt <- connector_dbi(RSQLite::SQLite())

cnt |>
  write_cnt(iris, "iris") |>
  list_content_cnt()
#> [1] "iris"

cnt |>
  remove_cnt("iris") |>
  list_content_cnt()
#> character(0)

# Remove a file from the file storage

folder <- withr::local_tempdir()
cnt <- connector_fs(folder)

cnt |>
  write_cnt("this is an example", "example.txt")
#> Error: Cannot open file for writing:
#> * '/tmp/RtmppxiTmW/file1fc0e430c57/example.txt'
cnt |>
  list_content_cnt(pattern = "example.txt")
#> character(0)

cnt |>
  read_cnt("example.txt")
#> Error in find_file(name, root = connector_object$path): No file found or multiple files found with the same name
