tbl 和 mutate dplyr:变量格式不正确

tbl and mutate dplyr: incorrect formatting of variables

我目前正在使用 dplyr::tbl 与 Azure 中的 SQL 数据库进行交互。我喜欢延迟查询评估直到需要它并在许多函数中使用它的能力。

有时我需要做的一件事是修改 tbl() 将数据读入 R 环境的方式。但是,我刚刚注意到使用 mutate 执行此操作时出现了一些意外行为。请看下面。

# Load library    
library(dplyr)
library(DBI)
library(odbc)
library(purrr)

使用 odbc 连接到数据库

odbc::dbConnect(odbc::odbc(),
                Driver = "ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server",
...)

    > class(db_con)
[1] "Microsoft SQL Server"
attr(,"package")
[1] ".GlobalEnv"

> # Azure Database
> # Microsoft SQL Server Version: 12.00.2195

使用mtcars指定测试数据,将第一行替换为NAs。

    > mtcars[1,] <- NA
    > mtcars_mod <- as_tibble(mtcars)
    > head(mtcars_mod)
    # A tibble: 6 x 11

现在数据已经写入数据库我想把它带回环境中。所有变量目前在架构中都是“浮动”的。

这一切都很好,但是如果我想在调用 collect() 之前更改将数据读入环境的方式怎么办。让我们看看...

可以看出,通过不同的调用,R 环境中的变量表达式在每次调用时都会发生变化,即使我只是修改一列变量类型(数字到字符)。

此外,当我直接在 MSSQL 中使用 show_query() 和 运行 生成的 SQL 查询时,问题不存在。这似乎是 R and/or dplyr::tbl.
