## Get Compound Names

### Description

Fetch the names of the given compound ids, if they exist

### Usage

    getCompoundNames(conn, compoundIds, keepOrder = FALSE, allowMissing = FALSE)

### Arguments

`conn` | A database connection object, such as is returned by `initDb`.
`compoundIds` | A vector of compound ids.
`keepOrder` | If true, the order of the output compound ids will be the same as the input names. This imposes a performance hit that can be significant for large datasets, thus it should be left FALSE unless needed.
`allowMissing` | When this is false an error will be raised when compound ids queried were not found in the database. If true, just those that are found will be returned with no error or warning.

### Value

Returns a vector of compound names.The rownames will be the compound ids. Compound ids not found, or for which a name is not defined, will be represented as NA.
