Usage

sjdbcOptions(...)

Arguments

...	you can provide no arguments. You can provide a list or vector of character strings as the only argument, or you can provide arguments in name=value form. See the VALUE and SIDE EFFECTS sections for more information.

Value

The sjdbcOptions function always returns a list, even if the list is of length 1.

if no arguments are given, returns a list of current values for all options.
if a character vector is given as the only argument, returns a list of current values for the options named in the character vector.
if an object of mode "list" is given as the only argument, its components become the values for options with the corresponding names. The function returns a list of the option values before they were modified. Usually, the list given as an argument is the return value of a previous call to sjdbcOptions.
if arguments are given in name=value form, sjdbcOptions changes the values of the specified options and returns a list of the option values before they were modified.

Side Effects

When options are set, the sjdbcOptions function changes a list named .sjdbcOptions in the session frame (frame 0). The components of .sjdbcOptions are all of the currently defined options. If sjdbcOptions is called with either a list as the single argument or with one or more arguments in name=value form, the options specified are changed or created.
