dbplyr 2.5.0

Improved tools for qualified table names

• Specification of table names with schema/catalogs has been overhauled to
  make it simpler. This includes the following features and fixes:

  • The simplest way to refer to a qualified table is now to wrap it in
    I(), e.g. I("schema_name.table_name").

  • Use of sql() and ident_q() inside in_catalog() and in_schema()
    is once again supported (#1388).

  • It's ok to use ident_q() once again (#1413) and you should no longer
    see unsuppressable warnings about using in_schema() (#1408).

  • The names of the arguments to Id() no longer matter, only their order
    (#1416). Additionally, thanks to changes to the DBI package, you no
    longer need to name each argument.

  • If you accidentally pass a named vector to any of the database identifer
    functions, those names will be automatically stripped (#1404).

  • tbl_sql(check_from) is now deprecated.

• dbplyr now exports some tools to work with the internal table_path class
  which is useful for certain backends that need to work with this
  data structure (#1300).

Improved SQL

• New translations for clock functions add_years(), add_days(),
  date_build(), get_year(), get_month(), get_day(),
  and base::difftime() on SQL server, Redshift, Snowflake, and Postgres.

• select() will keep computed columns used to arrange() subqueries that are
  eliminated by a subsequent select (@ejneer, #1437).

• semi_join() will no longer inline away an aggregate filter (i.e. HAVING
  clause) that was followed by a select() (@ejneer, #1474)

• Improved function translations:

  • Functions qualified with the base namespace are now also translated, e.g.
    base::paste0(x, "_1") is now translated (@mgirlich, #1022).

  • -1 + x now generates a translation instead erroring (#1420).

  • x$name never attempts to evaluate name (#1368).

  • You can once again use NULL on the LHS of an infix operator in order
    to generate SQL with unusual syntax (#1345).

  • Namespaced calls now error if the function doesn't exist, or a translation
    is not available (#1426).

  • lead() translation coerces n to an integer.

• Databricks: now supports creating non-temporary tables too (#1418).

• Oracle:

  • db_explain() now works (@thomashulst, #1353).

  • as.Date() works when applied to a string (#1389).

  • head() is once again translated to FETCH FIRST. This does require Oracle
    12c or newer, but it actually works, compared to the approach using
    ROWNUM from #1292 (#1436).

  • Added support for str_replace() and str_replace_all() via
    REGEXP_REPLACE() (@thomashulst, #1402).

• Snowflake (@nathanhaigh, #1406)

  • Added support for str_starts() and str_ends() via REGEXP_INSTR()

  • Refactored str_detect() to use REGEXP_INSTR() so now supports
    regular expressions.

  • Refactored grepl() to use REGEXP_INSTR() so now supports
    case-insensitive matching through grepl(..., ignore.case = TRUE)

• SQL server:

  • Now products a clear error if you attempt to use n_distinct() in
    mutate() or filter() (#1366).

  • filter() does a better job of converting logical vectors
    from bit to boolean (@ejneer, #1288).

• MySQL: as.integer() gets correct translation (@krlmlr, #1375).

Minor improvements and bug fixes

• Deprecation status of functions deprecated in previous versions (at least
  2 years old) have been advanced. In particular, src_sql() is now defunct,
  as is the use of partial_eval() with character data.

• Database errors now show the generated SQL, which hopefully will make it
  faster to track down problems (#1401).

• When dbplyr creates an index on a table in a schema (e.g. schema.table),
  it now only includes the table name in the index name, not the schema name.

• The class of remote sources now includes all S4 class names, not just
  the first (#918).

• compute() passes additional arguments all the way to
  sql_query_save()-methods (@rsund).

• db_sql_render() correctly passes on ... when re-calling with
  sql_options set (#1394).

• reframe() now gives an informative error that it isn't supported (#1148).

• rows_patch(in_place = FALSE) now works when more than one column should be
  patched (@gorcha, #1443).

• New simulate_mariadb() (@krlmlr, #1375).

• sql_translator() now checks for duplicated definitions (@krlmlr, #1374).

dbplyr 2.4.0

Breaking changes

• Using compute(temporary = FALSE) without providing a name is now
  deprecated (@mgirlich, #1154).

• ntile()'s first argument has been renamed from order_by to x to
  match the interface of dplyr::ntile() (@mgirlich, #1242).

• simulate_vars() and simulate_vars_is_typed() were removed as they weren't
  used and tidyselect now offers tidyselect_data_proxy() and
  tidyselect_data_has_predicates() (@mgirllich, #1199).

• sql_not_supported() now expects a function name without parentheses.

• sql_query_append(), sql_query_insert(), sql_query_update(),
  sql_query_upsert(), and sql_query_delete() changed their arguments to
  make them more consistent to the other sql_query_*() functions:

  • x_name was renamed to table.
  • y was renamed to from and must now be a table identifier or SQL instead
    of a lazy table.
  • sql_query_append() and sql_query_insert() have gained the argument cols.

• remote_name() now returns a string with the name of the table. To get the
  qualified identifier use the newly added remote_table() (@mgirlich, #1280).

• tbl_lazy() loses src argument after it has been deprecated for years
  (@mgirlich, #1208).

• translate_sql() now requires the con argument (@mgirlich, #1311).
  The vars argument has been removed after it threw an error for the last 7
  years (@mgirlich).

Improved SQL

• Preliminary databricks Spark SQL backend (#1377).

• Joins

  • *_join() after full_join() works again (@mgirlich, #1178).

  • *_join() now allows specifying the relationship argument. It must be
    NULL or "many-to-many" (@bairdj, #1305).

  • Queries now qualify * with the table alias for better compatibility
    (@mgirlich, #1003).

  • full_join() can now handle column names that only differ in case
    (@ejneer, #1255).

  • The na_matches argument of semi_join() and anti_join() works again
    (@mgirlich, #1211).

  • A semi/anti_join() on fitlered y is inlined when possible (@mgirlich, #884).

  • Joins now work again for Pool and Oracle connections (@mgirlich, #1177, #1181).

• A sequence of union() resp. union_all() now produces a flat query
  instead of subqueries (@mgirlich, #1269).

• Added translations for:

  • nzchar() (@MichaelChirico, @mgirlich, #1094).
  • str_detect(), str_starts() and str_ends() with fixed patterns
    (@mgirlich, #1009).
  • runif() (@mgirlich, #1200).

• if_any() and if_all() translations are now wrapped in parentheses.
  This makes sure it can be combined via & with other conditions
  (@mgirlich, #1153).

• nth(), first(), and last() now support the na_rm argument
  (@mgirlich, #1193).

Minor improvements and bug fixes

• across() now supports namespaced functions, e.g.
  across(x, dplyr::dense_rank) (@mgirlich, #1231).

• db_copy_to(overwrite = TRUE) now actually works.

• db_copy_to()'s ... are now passed to db_write_table() (@mgirlich, #1237).

• Added db_supports_table_alias_with_as() to customise whether a backend
  supports specifying a table alias with AS or not (@mgirlich).

• db_write_table() and db_save_query() gain the overwrite argument.

• dbplyr_pivot_wider_spec() is now exported. Unlike pivot_wider() this can
  be lazy. Note that this will be removed soon after pivot_wider_spec()
  becomes a generic (@mgirlich).

• filter()ing with window functions now generates columns called col01
  rather than q01 (@mgirlich, #1258).

• pivot_wider() now matches tidyr NA column handling (@ejneer #1238).

• select() can once again be used after arrange(desc(x)) (@ejneer, #1240).

• show_query() and remote_query() gain the argument sql_options that allows
  to control how the SQL is generated. It can be created via sql_options()
  which has the following arguments:

  • cte: use common table expressions?
  • use_star: use SELECT * or explicitly select every column?
  • qualify_all_columns: qualify all columns in a join or only the ambiguous ones?
    (@mgirlich, #1146).

  Consequently the cte argument of show_query() and remote_query() has
  been deprecated (@mgirlich, #1146).

• slice_min/max() can now order by multiple variables like dplyr, e.g. use
  slice_min(lf, tibble(x, y)) (@mgirlich, #1167).

• slice_*() now supports the data masking pronouns .env and .data (@mgirlich, #1294).

• sql_join_suffix() gains the argument suffix so that methods can check
  whether the suffix is valid for the backend (@mgirlich).

• sql_random() is now deprecated. It was used to power slice_sample() which
  is now done via the translation for runif() (@mgirlich, #1200).

• tbl() now informs when the user probably forgot to wrap the table identifier
  with in_schema() or sql() (@mgirlich, #1287).

Backend specific improvements

• Access

  • Added translation for != to <> (@erikvona, #1219).

• DuckDB

  • now supports the returning argument of rows_*().

• MySQL/MariaDB:

  • rows_update() and rows_patch() now give an informative error when the
    unsupported returning argument is used (@mgirlich, #1279).
  • rows_upsert() now gives an informative error that it isn't supported
    (@mgirlich, #1279).
  • rows_*() use the column types of x when auto copying y (@mgirlich, #1327).
  • copy_inline() now works (@mgirlich, #1188).
  • Fix translation of as.numeric(), as.POSIXct(), as_datetime(), and
    as.integer64() (@avsdev-cw, #1189).

• MS SQL:

  • row_number() now works when no order is specified (@ejneer, @fh-mthomson, #1332)

• Oracle:

  • Fix translation of rows_upsert() (@mgirlich, @TBlackmore, #1286)
  • head(n) is now translated to WHERE ROWNUM <= n to also support old
    versions <= 11.2 (@JeremyPasco, #1292).

• Postgres

  • The rows_*() functions now also work inside a transaction (@mgirlich, #1183).

• SQLite

  • Subqueries now also get an alias. This makes it consistent with other
    backends and simplifies the implementation.

• SQL Server

  • distinct(.keep_all = TRUE) now works (@mgirlich, #1053).
  • The translation of between() now also works when used in mutate()
    (@mgirlich, #1241).
  • any() and all() now work (@ejneer, #1273).
  • Fixed negation of bit (boolean) fields (@ejneer, #1239)

• Snowflake:

  • na.rm = TRUE is now respected in pmin() and pmax() instead of being silently ignored (@fh-mthomson, #1329)
  • row_number() now works when no order is specified (@fh-mthomson, #1332)

• Teradata

  • distinct() + head() now work (@mgirlich, #685).
  • as.Date(x) is now translate to CAST(x AS DATE) again unless x is a
    string (@mgirlich, #1285).
  • row_number() no longer defaults to partitioning by groups (now aligned with other databases when no order is specified: ROW_NUMBER() defaults to ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) (@fh-mthomson, #1331)

dbplyr 2.3.4

• Hot patch release to resolve R CMD check failures.

dbplyr 2.3.3

• Hot patch release to resolve R CMD check failures.

dbplyr 2.3.2

• Hot patch release to resolve R CMD check failures.

dbplyr 2.3.1

Breaking changes

• window_order() now only accepts bare symbols or symbols wrapped in desc().
  This breaking change is necessary to allow select() to drop and rename
  variables used in window_order() (@mgirlich, #1103).

Improved error messages

• quantile() and median() now error for SQL Server when used in summarise()
  and for PostgreSQL when used in mutate() as they can't be properly
  translated (@mgirlich, #1110).

• Added an informative error for unsupported join arguments unmatched and
  multiple (@mgirlich).

• Using predicates, e.g. where(is.integer), in across() now produces an
  error as they never worked anyway (@mgirlich, #1169).

• Catch unsupported argument pivot_wider(id_expand = TRUE) and
  pivot_longer(cols_vary) (@mgirlich, #1109).

Bug fixes in SQL generation

• Fixed an issue when using a window function after a summarise() and
  select() (@mgirlich, #1104).

• Fixed an issue when there where at least 3 joins and renamed variables
  (@mgirlich, #1101).

• mutate() and select() after distinct() now again produce a subquery to
  generate the correct translation (@mgirlich, #1119, #1141).

• Fixed an issue when using filter() on a summarised variable (@mgirlich, #1128).

• mutate() + filter() now again produces a new query if the mutate()
  uses a window function or SQL (@mgirlich, #1135).

• across() and pick() can be used (again) in distinct() (@mgirlich, #1125).

• The rows_*() function work again for tables in a schema in PostgreSQL
  (@mgirlich, #1133).

Minor improvements and bug fixes

• sql() now evaluates its arguments locally also when used in across() (@mgirlich, #1039).

• The rank functions (row_number(), min_rank(), rank(), dense_rank(),
  percent_rank(), and cume_dist()) now support multiple variables by
  wrapping them in tibble(), e.g. rank(tibble(x, y)) (@mgirlich, #1118).

• pull() now supports the argument name (@mgirlich, #1136).

• Added support for join_by() added in dplyr 1.1.0 (@mgirlich, #1074).

• Using by = character() to perform a cross join is now soft-deprecated in
  favor of cross_join().

• full_join() and right_join() are now translated directly to FULL JOIN
  and RIGHT JOIN for SQLite as native support was finally added (@mgirlich, #1150).

• case_match() now works with strings on the left hand side (@mgirlich, #1143).

• The rank functions (row_number(), min_rank(), rank(), dense_rank(),
  percent_rank(), and cume_dist()) now work again for variables wrapped in
  desc(), e.g. row_number(desc(x)) (@mgirlich, #1118).

• Moved argument auto_index after ... in *_join() (@mgirlich, #1115).

• Removed dependency on assertthat (@mgirlich, #1112).

• across() now uses the original value when a column is overriden to match
  the behaviour of dplyr. For example mutate(df, across(c(x, y), ~ .x / x))
  now produces

  SELECT `x` / `x` AS `x`, `y` / `x` AS `y`
  FROM `df`
  

  instead of

  SELECT `x`, `y` / `x` AS `y`
  FROM (
    SELECT `x` / `x` AS `x`, `y`
    FROM `df`
  ) 
  

  (@mgirlich, #1015).

• Restricted length of table aliases to avoid truncation on certain backends (e.g., Postgres) (@fh-mthomson, #1096)

dbplyr 2.3.0

• Compatibility with purrr 1.0.0 (@mgirlich, #1085).

New features

• stringr::str_like() (new in 1.5.0) is translated to the closest LIKE
  equivalent (@rjpat, #509)

• In preparation for dplyr 1.1.0:

  • The .by argument is supported (@mgirlich, #1051).
  • Passing ... to across() is deprecated because the evaluation timing
    of ... is ambiguous. Now instead of (e.g.)
    across(a:b, mean, na.rm = TRUE) use
  • pick() is translated (@mgirlich, #1044).
  • case_match() is translated (@mgirlich, #1020).
  • case_when() now supports the .default argument (@mgirlich, #1017).

• Variables that aren't found in either the data or in the environment now
  produce an error (@mgirlich, #907).

SQL optimisation

• dbplyr now produces fewer subqueries resulting in shorter, more readable, and,
  in some cases, faster SQL. The following combination of verbs now avoids a
  subquery if possible:

  • *_join() + select() (@mgirlich, #876).
  • select() + *_join() (@mgirlich, #875).
  • mutate() + filter() and filter() + filter() (@mgirlich, #792).
  • distinct() (@mgirlich, #880).
  • summarise() + filter() now translates to HAVING (@mgirlich, #877).
  • left/inner_join() + left/inner_join() (@mgirlich, #865).

• dbplyr now uses SELECT * after a join instead of explicitly selecting every
  column, where possible (@mgirlich, #898).

• Joins only use the table aliases ("LHS" and "RHS") if necessary (@mgirlich).

• When using common table expressions, the results of joins and set operations
  are now reused (@mgirlich, #978).

Improved error messages

• Many errors have been improved and now show the function where the error
  happened instead of a helper function (@mgirlich, #907).

• Errors produced by the database, e.g. in collect() or rows_*(), now show
  the verb where the error happened (@mgirlich).

• window_order() now produces a better error message when applied to a data
  frame (@mgirlich, #947).

• Using a named across() now gives a clear error message (@mgirlich, #761).

Minor improvements and bug fixes

• Keyword highlighting can now be customised via the option dbplyr_highlight.
  Turn it off via options(dbplyr_highlight = FALSE) or pass a custom ansi
  style, e.g. options(dbplyr_highlight = cli::combine_ansi_styles("bold", "cyan"))
  (@mgirlich, #974).

• The rank functions (row_number(), min_rank(), rank(), dense_rank(),
  percent_rank(), and cume_dist()) now give missing values the rank NA to
  match the behaviour of dplyr (@mgirlich, #991).

• NAs in blob()s are correctly translated to NULL (#983).

• copy_inline() gains a types argument to specify the SQL column types
  (@mgirlich, #963).

• cur_column() is now supported (@mgirlich, #951).

• distinct() returns columns ordered the way you request, not the same
  as the input data (@mgirlich).

• fill() can now fill "downup" and "updown" (@mgirlich, #1057), and
  now order by non-numeric columns also in the up direction (@mgirlich, #1057).

• filter() now works when using a window function and an external vector
  (#1048).

• group_by() + renamed columns works once again (@mgirlich, #928).

• last() is correctly translated when no window frame is specified
  (@mgirlich, #1063).

• setOldClass() uses a namespace, fixing an installation issue (@mgirlich, #927).

• sql() is now translated differently. The ... are now evaluated locally
  instead of being translated with translate_sql() (@mgirlich, #952).

Backend specific improvements

• HANA:

  • Correctly translates as.character() (#1027).
  • copy_inline() now works for Hana (#950)

• MySQL:

  • str_flatten() uses collapse = "" by default (@fh-afrachioni, #993)

  • No longer tries to use named windows anymore (@owenjonesuob, #1035).
  • copy_inline() now works for Redshift (#949, thanks to @ejneer for an
    initial implementation).
  • str_flatten() uses collapse = "" by default (@fh-afrachioni, #993)

• Snowflake:

• numeric functions: all(), any(), log10(), round(), cor(), cov()
  and sd().

• date functions: day(), mday(), wday(), yday(), week(),
  isoweek(), month(), quarter(), isoyear(), seconds(), minutes(),
  hours(), days(), weeks(), months(), years() and floor_date().

• string functions: grepl(), paste(), paste0(), str_c(), str_locate(),
  str_detect(), str_replace(), str_replace_all(), str_remove(),
  str_remove_all(), str_trim(), str_squish() and str_flatten()
  (@fh-afrachioni, #860).

• str_flatten() uses collapse = "" by default (@fh-afrachioni, #993)

• SQLite:

  • quantile() gives a better error saying that it is not supported
    (@mgirlich, #1000).

  • pivot_wider() works again for MS SQL (@mgirlich, #929).
  • Always use 1 and 0 as literals for logicals (@krlmlr, #934).

• Teradata:

  • Querying works again. Unfortunately, the fix requires every column to
    once again by explicitly selected (@mgirlich, #966).
  • New translations for as.Date(), week(), quarter(), paste(),
    startsWith(), row_number(), weighted.mean(), lead(), lag(), and
    cumsum() (@overmar, #913).

dbplyr 2.2.1

• Querying Oracle databases works again. Unfortunately, the fix requires every
  column to be explicitly selected again (@mgirlich, #908).

• semi_join() and anti_join() work again for Spark (@mgirlich, #915).

• str_c() is now translated to || in Oracle (@mgirlich, #921).

• sd(), var(), cor() and cov() now give clear error messages on
  databases that don't support them.

• any() and all() gain default translations for all backends.

dbplyr 2.2.0

dbplyr 2.2.0

New features

• SQL formatting has been considerably improved with new wrapping and indenting.
  show_query() creates more readable queries by printing the keywords in blue
  (@mgirlich, #644). When possible dbplyr now uses SELECT * instead of
  explicitly selecting every column (@mgirlich).

• Added support for rows_insert(), rows_append(), rows_update(),
  rows_patch(), rows_upsert(), and rows_delete() (@mgirlich, #736).

• Added copy_inline() as a copy_to() equivalent that does not need write
  access (@mgirlich, #628).

• remote_query(), show_query(), compute() and collect() have an
  experimental cte argument. If TRUE the SQL query will use common table
  expressions instead of nested queries (@mgirlich, #638).

• New in_catalog(), which works like in_schema(), but allows creation of
  table identifiers consisting of three components: catalog, schema, name
  (#806, @krlmlr).

Improvements to SQL generation

• When possible, dbplyr now uses SELECT * instead of explicitly selecting
  every column (@mgirlich).

• New translation for cut() (@mgirlich, #697).

• Improved translations for specific backends:

  • as.Date() for Oracle (@mgirlich, #661).
  • case_when() with a final clause of the form TRUE ~ ... uses ELSE ...
    for SQLite (@mgirlich, #754).
  • day(), week(), isoweek(), and isoyear() for Postgres (@mgirlich, #675).
  • explain() for ROracle (@mgirlich).
  • fill() for SQL Server (#651, @mgirlich) and RPostgreSQL (@mgirlich).
  • quantile() for SQL Server (@mgirlich, #620).
  • str_flatten() for Redshift (@hdplsa, #804)
  • slice_sample() for MySQL/MariaDB and SQL Server (@mgirlich, #617).
  • union() for Hive (@mgirlich, #663).

• The backend function dbplyr_fill0() (used for databases that lack
  IGNORE NULLS support) now respects database specific translations
  (@rsund, #753).

• Calls of the form stringr::foo() or lubridate::foo() are now evaluated in
  the database, rather than locally (#197).

• Unary plus (e.g. db %>% filter(x == +1)) now works (@mgirlich, #674).

• is.na(), ifelse(), if_else(), case_when(), and if()
  generate slightly more compact SQL (@mgirlich, #738).

• if_else() now supports the missing argument (@mgirlich, #641).

• n() now respects the window frame (@mgirlich, #700).

• quantile() no longer errors when using the na.rm argument (@mgirlich, #600).

• remote_name() now returns a name in more cases where it makes sense
  (@mgirlich, #850).

• The partial evaluation code is now more aligned with dtplyr. This makes it
  easier to transfer bug fixes and new features from one package to the other.
  In this process the second argument of partial_eval() was changed to a lazy
  frame instead of a character vector of variables (@mgirlich, #766).
  Partially evaluated expressions with infix operations are now correctly
  translated. For example translate_sql(!!expr(2 - 1) * x) now works
  (@mgirlich, #634).

Minor improvements and bug fixes

• New pillar::tbl_format_header() method for lazy tables: Printing a lazy
  table where all rows are displayed also shows the exact number of rows in the
  header. The threshold is controlled by getOption("pillar.print_min"),
  with a default of 10 (#796, @krlmlr).

• The 1st edition extension mechanism is formally deprecated (#507).

• across(), if_any() and if_all() now defaults to .cols = everything()
  (@mgirlich, #760). If .fns is not provided if_any() and if_all() work
  like a parallel version of any()/any() (@mgirlich, #734).

• across(), if_any(), and if_all() can now translate evaluated lists
  and functions (@mgirlich, #796), and accept the name of a list of functions
  (@mgirlich, #817).

• Multiple across() calls in mutate() and transmute() can now access
  freshly created variables (@mgirlich, #802).

• add_count() now doesn't change the groups of the input (@mgirlich, #614).

• compute() can now handle when name is named by unnaming it first
  (@mgirlich, #623), and now works when temporary = TRUE for Oracle
  (@mgirlich, #621).

• distinct() now supports .keep_all = TRUE (@mgirlich, #756).

• expand() now works in DuckDB (@mgirlich, #712).

• explain() passes ... to methods (@mgirlich, #783), and
  works for Redshift (@mgirlich, #740).

• filter() throws an error if you supply a named argument (@mgirlich, #764).

• Joins disambiguates columns that only differ in case (@mgirlich, #702).
  New arguments x_as and y_as allow you to control the table alias
  used in SQL query (@mgirlich, #637). Joins with na_matches = "na" now work
  for DuckDB (@mgirlich, #704).

• mutate() and transmute() use named windows if a window definition is
  used at least twice and the backend supports named windows (@mgirlich, #624).
