Build a .dtable base from data frames

Creates a harbour_dtable from scratch, so a set of R data frames can be written out as a SeaTable base and imported.

Usage

hb_dtable(..., base_name = "harbouR base", collaborators = NULL)

Arguments

...

Named data frames, one per table.

base_name

Name recorded for the base.

collaborators

Optional list of collaborator records.

Value

A harbour_dtable.
