Hi, I've run into a bit of a problem with using the RMySQL library. I've been attempting to create a temporary table in a MySQL database and then perform a SELECT with a WHEREs clause on the table. In effect perform a SELECT with a subSELECT. The problem is that it never seems to be able to find the table after I create it. I've been using the dbSendQuery method to create the table since this seems to be the one too use for sending all forms of SQL commands. Is it possible that MySQL is dropping the temporary table every time a new dbSendQuery is run? Or (more likely) am I using the library improperly. Thanks, James ... asset pricing is paradoxical. On the one hand, the theory is so persuasive that it is widely believed to be correct, to the point that business, government and even jurisdiction appeal to it. Yet there is little evidence that the theory explains the past, let alone that it predicts the future. ---The Paradox of Asset Pricing by Peter Bossaerts
