select(x, col, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame,Column'
select(x, col, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame,list'
select(x, col)

Arguments

x	a SparkDataFrame.
col	a list of columns or single Column or name.
...	additional column(s) if only one column is specified in col. If more than one column is assigned in col, ... should be left empty.
name	name of a Column (without being wrapped by "").

Examples

## Not run: 
##D   select(df, "*")
##D   select(df, "col1", "col2")
##D   select(df, df$name, df$age + 1)
##D   select(df, c("col1", "col2"))
##D   select(df, list(df$name, df$age + 1))
##D   # Similar to R data frames columns can also be selected using $
##D   df[,df$age]
## End(Not run)
