Generally, you should no longer need to provide a custom tbl()
method. The default tbl.DBIConnect method should work in most cases.
tbl_sql(subclass, src, from,..., vars =NULL, check_from = deprecated())
Arguments
subclass: name of subclass
...: needed for agreement with generic. Not otherwise used.
vars: Provide column names as a character vector to avoid retrieving them from the database. Mainly useful for better performance when creating multiple tbl objects.
