R: Join data table tbls.

join.tbl_dt {dtplyr}

R Documentation

Join data table tbls.

Description

See join for a description of the general purpose of the functions.

Usage

inner_join.data.table(x, y, by = NULL, copy = FALSE, suffix = c(".x",
  ".y"), ...)

left_join.data.table(x, y, by = NULL, copy = FALSE, suffix = c(".x",
  ".y"), ...)

right_join.data.table(x, y, by = NULL, copy = FALSE, suffix = c(".x",
  ".y"), ...)

full_join.data.table(x, y, by = NULL, copy = FALSE, suffix = c(".x",
  ".y"), ...)

semi_join.data.table(x, y, by = NULL, copy = FALSE, ...)

anti_join.data.table(x, y, by = NULL, copy = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

`x, y`	tbls to join
`by`	a character vector of variables to join by. If `NULL`, the default, `*_join()` will do a natural join, using all variables with common names across the two tables. A message lists the variables so that you can check they're right (to suppress the message, simply explicitly list the variables that you want to join). To join by different variables on x and y use a named vector. For example, `by = c("a" = "b")` will match `x.a` to `y.b`.
`copy`	If `x` and `y` are not from the same data source, and `copy` is `TRUE`, then `y` will be copied into the same src as `x`. This allows you to join tables across srcs, but it is a potentially expensive operation so you must opt into it.
`suffix`	If there are non-joined duplicate variables in `x` and `y`, these suffixes will be added to the output to disambiguate them. Should be a character vector of length 2.
`...`	Included for compatibility with generic; otherwise ignored.

Examples

library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)

if (require("Lahman")) {
batting_dt <- tbl_dt(Batting)
person_dt <- tbl_dt(Master)

# Inner join: match batting and person data
inner_join(batting_dt, person_dt)

# Left join: keep batting data even if person missing
left_join(batting_dt, person_dt)

# Semi-join: find batting data for top 4 teams, 2010:2012
grid <- expand.grid(
  teamID = c("WAS", "ATL", "PHI", "NYA"),
  yearID = 2010:2012)
top4 <- semi_join(batting_dt, grid, copy = TRUE)

# Anti-join: find batting data with out player data
anti_join(batting_dt, person_dt)
}
