Hi, I am a beginner in R and have only read a few chapters in the R book, I was not able to find a solution for this simple problem. I have an empty data frame: a=data.frame(name="test") which I would like to extend in a for-loop (with data extracted from a database). Ideally I would like to extend the data frame like this: a["new_1"] = 1:10 a["new_1"] = 1:12
