I?m trying to pull data from one table (batting) in the Lahman Baseball
database. Notice X2B for doubles and X3B for triples ? fourth and fifth from
the right.
The dbGetQuery function runs fine when I leave there two out but I get error
messages (in red) when I include 2B/3B or X2B/X3B.
Can anyone give me some direction?
Thanks,
Philip Heinrich

Have you tried putting double quotes around 2B and 3B: "...2B, 3B, ..." -> "...\"2B\",\"3B\",..."? -Bill On Fri, Oct 2, 2020 at 3:49 PM Philip <herd_dog at cox.net> wrote:> I?m trying to pull data from one table (batting) in the Lahman Baseball > database.

The double quotes are required by SQL if a name is not of the form letter-followed-by-any-number-of-letters-or-numbers or if the name is a SQL keyword like 'where' or 'select'. If you are doing this from a function, you may as well quote all the names. -Bill On Fri, Oct 2, 2020 at 6:18 PM Philip <herd_dog at cox.net> wrote:> The \?2B\? worked. Have no idea why.

Hi Philip, You've probably realized by now that R doesn't like column names that start with a number. If you try to access an R-dataframe column named 2B or 3B with the familiar "$" notation, you'll get an error:> library(DBI) > library(RSQLite) > con2 <- dbConnect(SQLite(), "~/R_Dir/lahmansbaseballdb.sqlite") > Hack12Batting <- dbGetQuery(con2,"SELECT * FROM batting WHERE yearID = 2018 AND AB >600 ORDER BY AB DESC") > Hack12Batting$AB[1] 664 661 639 632 632 632 626 623 620 618 617 613 606 605 602> Hack12Batting$3BError: unexpected numeric constant in "Hack12Batting$3" How to handle? You can rename columns on-the-fly by piping. See reference [1] and use either library(magrittr) or library(dplyr) or a combination thereof: library(magrittr) dbGetQuery(con2,"SELECT * FROM batting WHERE yearID = 2018 AND AB >600 ORDER BY AB DESC") %>% set_colnames(make.names(colnames(.))) #OR one of the following: library(dplyr) dbGetQuery(con2,"SELECT * FROM batting WHERE yearID = 2018 AND AB >600 ORDER BY AB DESC") %>% rename(X2B = `2B`, X3B = `3B`) library(dplyr) dbGetQuery(con2,"SELECT * FROM batting WHERE yearID = 2018 AND AB >600 ORDER BY AB DESC") %>% `colnames<-`(make.names(colnames(.))) library(dplyr) dbGetQuery(con2,"SELECT * FROM batting WHERE yearID = 2018 AND AB >600 ORDER BY AB DESC") %>% magrittr::set_colnames(make.names(colnames(.)))
