Dear All, I am an Italian researcher in Economics. I work with large sample data. I need to increase the memory in R-project in order to upload a file ".dta". How can I do this? Thank you. graziella -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/memory-increasing-tp3396511p3396511.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
1) What kind of file is a .dta?
2) Do you have more RAM than R is using? Check this with ?memory.limit
3) Are you on a 64 bit OS with 64 bit R?
I can tell you that starting R with --max-mem-sizemay help, but you probably
want to look into R interfaces with databases
first.

Thank you Jonathan. A file .dta is a dataset uploaded on Stata 10, that is another Statistical Program of data processing. I think that you help me. Thank you very much. graziella -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/memory-increasing-tp3396511p3396679.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

You want to "increase memory" but have not indicated your system information. If this is on Windows there is an RW-FAQ question on that point. http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#There-seems-to-be-a-limit-on-the-memory-it-uses_0021 If that does not address your question fully, then read the Posting Guide.> >> Thank you. >> graziellaDavid Winsemius, MD West Hartford, CT
