`dbflobr` reads and writes files to SQLite databases as [flobs](https://github.com/poissonconsulting/flobr).

A flob is a [blob](https://github.com/tidyverse/blob) that preserves the file extension.

## Installation

To install the latest release from [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org)

```r

install.packages("dbflobr")

```

To install the developmental version from [GitHub](https://github.com/poissonconsulting/dbflobr)

```r

# install.packages("remotes")

remotes::install_github("poissonconsulting/dbflobr")

```

## Demonstration

```{r}

library(dbflobr)

# convert a file to flob using flobr

flob <- flobr::flob(system.file("extdata", "flobr.pdf", package = "flobr"))

str(flob)

# create a SQLite database connection

conn <- DBI::dbConnect(RSQLite::SQLite(), ":memory:")

# create a table 'Table1' of data

DBI::dbWriteTable(conn, "Table1", data.frame(IntColumn = c(1L, 2L)))

DBI::dbReadTable(conn, "Table1")

# specify which row to add the flob to by providing a key

key <- data.frame(IntColumn = 2L)

# write the flob to the database in column 'BlobColumn'

write_flob(flob, "BlobColumn", "Table1", key, conn, exists = FALSE)

DBI::dbReadTable(conn, "Table1")

# read the flob

flob2 <- read_flob("BlobColumn", "Table1", key, conn)

str(flob2)

# delete the flob

delete_flob("BlobColumn", "Table1", key, conn)

DBI::dbReadTable(conn, "Table1")

# close the connection

DBI::dbDisconnect(conn)

```
