tablecopy - Function



Package utility
Module table


copy a table


Synopsis
tablecopy(tablename, newtablename, deep, tableserver)


Description
Copy a table on disk. All subtables are also copied. References to another table are preserved.

The argument deep determines how a reference table (i.e. the result of a query) is copied. By default a file copy is made, thus the resulting table still contains references and no actual data. If, however, textttdeep=T is given, a deep copy is made which means that the actual data are copied. Also all subtables are copied.



Arguments

tablename in Name of existing table on disk
    Allowed: String
newtablename in Name of newtable on disk
    Allowed: String
deep in Make a deep copy of a reference table?
    Allowed: Bool
    Default: F
tableserver in Table server to be used
    Allowed: Any tableserver
    Default: defaulttableserver


Returns
Bool
