Arguments

opal

project

Project name where the table will be located.

table

Table name to be created.

tables

List of the fully qualified table names that are referred by the view. Not modified when NULL (default).

# update the entity filter
opal.table_view_update(o, "CNSIM", "CNSIM123", where = "$('LAB_TSC').ge(5)")

# remove the entity filter
opal.table_view_update(o, "CNSIM", "CNSIM123", where = "")

# update both the table references and the entity filter
opal.table_view_update(o, "CNSIM", "CNSIM123",
                       tables = c("CNSIM.CNSIM1", "CNSIM.CNSIM2", "CNSIM.CNSIM3"),
