Write a flob
to a SQLite database.
write_flob(flob, column_name, table_name, key, conn, exists = NA)
A flob.
A string of the name of the BLOB column.
A string of the name of the existing table.
A data.frame whose columns and values are used to filter the
table to a single row (this in combination with the column_name
argument are used to target a single cell within the table to modify).
A SQLite connection object.
A logical scalar specifying whether the column must (TRUE) or mustn't (FALSE) already exist or whether it doesn't matter (NA). IF FALSE, a new BLOB column is created.
An invisible copy of flob.
