10.41 Effect on Data Storage
20180721 When the names of the variables within a dataset
are changed R does not make a complete new copy of the
dataset. Instead, the actual data in the column remains in tack whilst
the variable itself (ds
) references a new memory location
where the new variable names get noted. The underlying data within the
table is unaffected.
