import_from_gis() - option for tabular data only #78

Open schroeder-matt opened 3 months ago

The import_from_gis() function is really handy, but it can take a loooong time. I often need only tabular data without the geometry, so it would be great to have an option to skip the geometry and return a data frame instead of an sf object, the same way the function works if someone requests data that doesn't have associated geometry in the first place. This would speed things up considerably.

so something like this?

import_from_gis("dataset_name", geometry = FALSE)

Yes, that seems great! Not urgent from my perspective, though.
