This is a method for the dplyr summarise() generic. It generates the SELECT clause of the SQL query, and generally needs to be combined with group_by().
## S3 method for class 'tbl_lazy'summarise(.data,..., .by =NULL, .groups =NULL)
Arguments
.data: A lazy data frame backed by a database query.
...: <data-masking> Variables, or functions of variables. Use desc() to sort a variable in descending order.
.by: <tidy-select> Optionally, a selection of columns to group by for just this operation, functioning as an alternative to group_by(). For details and examples, see ?dplyr_by .
.groups: lifecycle::badge("experimental") Grouping structure of the result.
"drop_last": dropping the last level of grouping. This was the only supported option before version 1.0.0.
"drop": All levels of grouping are dropped.
"keep": Same grouping structure as .data.
When .groups is not specified, it defaults to "drop_last".
In addition, a message informs you of that choice, unless the result is ungrouped, the option "dplyr.summarise.inform" is set to FALSE, or when summarise() is called from a function in a package.
Returns
Another tbl_lazy. Use show_query() to see the generated query, and use collect() to execute the query and return data to R.
