I'm having trouble getting RMySQL to load. I was able to build it and install it (RMySQL_0.5-11.tar.gz). I was also able to build and install mysql-5.0.37. I've read many postings about this but have not found a mention of my particular problem (some closely related). I get the "unable to load shared library, no such file" error, but all the files do exist, RMySQL.so and

Hi R users, I am unable to load RMySQL. The zip file is not available which I guess is needed to load this pakage.

Dear list, I learned how to connect R to a local MySQL server, using: drv <- dbDriver("MySQL") con <- dbConnect(drv, user="root", password="mypass", dbname="mydb") Is it possible to connect R in this way to an external server (on a different machine, with a different IP)? I read the documentation on ?dbConnect (and everything I could find on the

Being relatively new to R, I want to use R in connection with a MySQL database. After installing (apparently sucessfully) the package RMySQL (R Version 1.6.2) the result is as follows: > library(RMySQL) > con <- dbConnect(MySQL(), dbname= "test") Error: couldn''t find function "dbConnect" Thank You in advance for help Peter Jörg Peter Baresel Technische

Hi, useR- In RMySQL, how do I overwrite records? (equivalent to "replace" query). For example, suppose that dat2 is a newer data.frame than dat1. con <- dbConnect(MySQL()) res <- dbWriteTable(con, "DBname", dat1, row.names=F, append=T, replace=T) res <- dbWriteTable(con, "DBname", dat2, row.names=F, append=T, replace=T) This would not update/replace the

List, Last week with the help of Uwe and some other folks I was able to get RMySQL 0.5-7 compiled against R 2.4.1 and MySQL 5.0.27. It was working fine--I was able to send select queries to the db, put the results in a data frame, and so forth. Today, dbDriver() threw an error: > dbDriver(MySQL) Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an inherited method for

I was trying to email directly the developer, David A. James, but all the emails bounce... Does anyone know if RMySQL may be re-compiled under Windows and what are the limitations?

Since there doesn't appear to be an RMySQL rpm for SuSE 8.*, does anyone know if the 7.3 version will work with the SuSE 8.2 rpms of R and DBI? The package installs without complaint, but when I try to run con <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"),dbname="test") I get the error Error in dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL")) : couldn't find function

Hi I just started with RMySQL. I have a database with roughly 12 millions rows/records and 8 columns/fields. From all 12 millions of records I want to import 3 fields only. The fields are specified as:id int(11), group char(15), measurement float(4,2). Why does this take > 1G RAM? I run R on suse linux, with 1G RAM and with the code below it even fills the whole 1G of swap. I just

Rmetrics seems to standardize on POSIX. I can only see differences in

For example, I want to select * from Atable where ID would equal to a members of R list or vector of "1, 2, 3". Here the ID list was generated inside R and then try to feed to mysql to call to get additional data sets. Can someone on the list help? Thanks. -- Waverley @ Palo

R HELP, I am trying to use an R script to connect to a mysql database. I am having a problem using a variable in the where clause that contains a "space" in its value. If I include the variable inside the quotes of the query - i think it is searching for the name of the variable in the database and not the value of the variable. If I put it outside the quotes, then it complains
