summarize_field gets the total rows, distinct value count, valueset, and null counts for a single field in a table. To get the summary of more than 1 field, see summarize_fields. To summarize an entire table or schema without hand-selecting fields, see summarize_table and summarize_schema respectively.

summarize_schema(
  conn,
  conn_fun,
  schema,
  verbose = TRUE,
  render_sql = TRUE,
  render_only = FALSE,
  warn_no_rows = TRUE,
  ...
)
