## Default S3 method:
as_arrow_table(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Table'
as_arrow_table(x, ..., schema = NULL)

## S3 method for class 'RecordBatch'
as_arrow_table(x, ..., schema = NULL)

as_arrow_table(x, ..., schema = NULL)

## S3 method for class 'RecordBatchReader'
as_arrow_table(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Dataset'

## S3 method for class 'arrow_dplyr_query'

## S3 method for class 'Schema'
as_arrow_table(x, ...)

A Table

Examples

# use as_arrow_table() for a single object
