Save the contents of the SparkDataFrame to a data source as a table

Description

The data source is specified by the source and a set of options (...). If source is not specified, the default data source configured by spark.sql.sources.default will be used.

Usage

saveAsTable(df, tableName, source = NULL, mode = "error", ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame,character'
saveAsTable(df, tableName, source = NULL, mode = "error", ...)

Arguments

Details

Additionally, mode is used to specify the behavior of the save operation when data already exists in the data source. There are four modes:
'append': Contents of this SparkDataFrame are expected to be appended to existing data.
'overwrite': Existing data is expected to be overwritten by the contents of this SparkDataFrame.
'error' or 'errorifexists': An exception is expected to be thrown.
'ignore': The save operation is expected to not save the contents of the SparkDataFrame and to not change the existing data.

Note

saveAsTable since 1.4.0
