Save the content of the SparkDataFrame to an external database table via JDBC. Additional JDBC database connection properties can be set (...) You can find the JDBC-specific option and parameter documentation for writing tables via JDBC in https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-data-sources-jdbc.html#data-source-option Data Source Option in the version you use.

Usage

write.jdbc(x, url, tableName, mode = "error", ...)

# S4 method for SparkDataFrame,character,character
write.jdbc(x, url, tableName, mode = "error", ...)

Arguments

x

a SparkDataFrame.

url

JDBC database url of the form jdbc:subprotocol:subname.

tableName

the name of the table in the external database.

mode

one of 'append', 'overwrite', 'error', 'errorifexists', 'ignore' save mode (it is 'error' by default)

...

additional JDBC database connection properties.

Details

Also, 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

write.jdbc since 2.0.0

Examples

if (FALSE) {
sparkR.session()
jdbcUrl <- "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/databasename"
write.jdbc(df, jdbcUrl, "table", user = "username", password = "password")
}
