Trying to install package 'filehash' I get the following error on FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT (amd64) with R version 2.11.0 (2010-01-15 r50990): ----------------------------------- R CMD INSTALL filehash_2.0-1.tar.gz * installing to library '/usr/local/lib/R/library' * installing *source* package 'filehash' ... ** libs gcc -std=gnu99 -I/usr/local/lib/R/include

Hi (Roger), I saw the announcement of filehash v2.0 and the sentence "This development has lead to better file locking for concurrent access and faster reading and writing of data in general" caught my attention. What kind of file locking do you refer to here? I am looking for a mechanism that can be used to lock files for reading and/or writing, and I'd love to have a cross

Hi all, several packages print messages during loading. How do I avoid to see them when the packages are in the defaultPackages? Here is an example. With this in ~/.Rprofile ,----[ ~/.Rprofile ] | old <- getOption("defaultPackages") | options(defaultPackages = c(old, "filehash")) | rm(old) `---- I get as last line when starting R: ,---- | filehash: Simple key-value

Hi all, I am trying to use the filehash library to analyze a 5M by 20 matrix with both double and string data types. After consulting a few tutorials online, it seems as though one needs to first read the data into R; then create an R object; and then assign that object a location in my computer via filehash. It seems like the benefit of this is minimizing memory allocation when running

Dear R helpers: I am a newbie to R and have a question related to cleaning large data frames in R. So far, I have been using SAS for data cleaning because my data sets are relatively large (handling multiple files, each could be as large as 5-10 G). I am not a fan of SAS at all and am eager to move data cleaning tasks into R completely. Seems to me, there are 3 options. Using SQL, ff or

Hello, I'm using filehash on the windows XP and it has been working fine with the newest R version 2.6.2. However, on the windows vista, when I ran the same code, I got the following error: > dbCreate("simdb") #create simdb database [1] TRUE > db<-dbInit("simdb") #initiate an object of database Error in sprintf(gettext(fmt, domain = domain), ...) : object

I have just uploaded to CRAN version 2.0 of the 'filehash' package. This version contains a major rewriting of many of the internals (much rewritten in C) for the DB1 format, which is the default. This development has lead to better file locking for concurrent access and faster reading and writing of data in general. In addition to rewriting the internals, I have added two modules for a

Dear R-list I'm on my way to start a new project on a rather big panel, consisting of approximately 8 million observations in 30 waves of data and about 15 variables. I have a similar data set that is approximately 7 gigabytes in size. Until now I have done my data management in SAS, and Stata, mostly identifying spells, counting events in intervals, and a like, but I would like to

Hi, I have been using filehash for a while. It has performed very well. However, recently I found filehash gives an error when I need to do something like db[c("a", "b")] when the db is in RDS format. Does any one know a way to get around that? The code below reproduces the error thanks Jeff filehashOption(defaultType = "DB1") dbCreate("mydb3", type =

Hi, I am working with a very large dataset, and am using the 'filehash' package to manage such a large file. While I have no problem accessing objects that I load into a database, I was hoping there is a better way to append to objects already in the database. The only way I know now to append to an object, basically requires rewriting the entire object. Sample code:

Dear R users, I try to use a very large file (~3 Gib) with the filehash package. The length of the dataset is around 4,000,000 obs.

Dear List, I would like to ask about package RGtk2 with which I have a problem. I will very much appreciate if somebody could tell me what I need to do. I need to install a package scdMicro and it depends on gWidgetsRGtk2. I am working on MAC, version 10.5.8. When I try to load gWidgetsRGtk2 (or RGtk2), it asks me: "Instal GTK+?" I installed Gtk+ from CRAN, and added a path: export

Are the functions 'R_Unserialize' and 'R_InitFileInPStream' allowed to be used in R packages? I guess I'm just not clear on the implications of this comment in 'Rinternals.h': /* The connection interface is not yet available to packages. To allow limited use of connection pointers this defines the opaque pointer type. */ I have a function in the
