########## docs/src/manual.md: ########## @@ -66,6 +66,7 @@ So, what can you do with an `Arrow.Table` full of data? Quite a bit actually! Because `Arrow.Table` implements the [Tables.jl](https://juliadata.github.io/Tables.jl/stable/) interface, it opens up a world of integrations for using arrow data. A few examples include: * `df = DataFrame(Arrow.Table(file))`: Build a [`DataFrame`](https://juliadata.github.io/DataFrames.jl/stable/), using the arrow vectors themselves; this allows utilizing a host of DataFrames.jl functionality directly on arrow data; grouping, joining, selecting, etc. +* `df = copy(DataFrame(Arrow.Table(file)))`: Build a [`DataFrame`](https://juliadata.github.io/DataFrames.jl/stable/), where the columns are regular `Vector`s. This requires that you have enough memory to load the entire DataFrame into memory. Review Comment: @bkamins Should this say `copy(DataFrame(...); copycols=true)` instead, just to be safe? Is there any chance that the [default value](https://dataframes.juliadata.org/stable/lib/functions/) (`copycols=true`) might change to `copycols=false` in the future? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
