连接 data.table

rbind(): 连接存于不同变量的 data.table 的行
rbindlist(): 连接 list 中 data.table 的行
连接两个或更多作为变量存储的 data.table
# ... 可接收任意数量的参数
rbind(...)
rbind(sales_2015, sales_2016)

8: 4 3670000
idcol 参数添加来源 data.table 的标识列
rbind("2015" = sales_2015, "2016" = sales_2016, idcol = "year")

rbind(sales_2015, sales_2016, idcol = "year")
Error in rbindlist(l, use.names, fill, idcol) :
Item 2 has 3 columns, inconsistent with item 1 which has 2 columns.
If instead you need to fill missing columns, use set argument 'fill'
to TRUE.
将 list 中的 data.table 按行连接
# 读取 data.table 列表
table_files <- c("sales_2015.csv", "sales_2016.csv")
list_of_tables <- lapply(table_files, fread)
rbindlist(list_of_tables)
