Dear all, I've encountered a curious problem. I am trying to run an SQL query using sqlQuery() function in RODBC. The query works fine when run in a stand-alone SQL browser (Microsoft Query Analyzer, in particular). However, when I use the exact same thing from sqlQuery() function, I get the following error: Error in "[.data.frame"(data, , ) : not all specified columns exist

Hi everyone, I am using the sqlQuery function (in RODBC library) to import data from a database into R. My table (called temp) in the database looks like this: category numabc 54469517.307692307692def 36428860.230769230769 I used the following R code to pull data into R:data <-sqlQuery(channel, "select category, num from temp;") However, the result is that "num" gets all its

Dear alls, Could someone tell me how to select a subset of string observations (e.g. "females" in a sex column) with sqlQuery in the RODBC library? Indeed, I'm trying to select a subset of observations on my access database with: female<-sqlQuery(mychannel,"SELECT Micromammiferes.sex FROM Micromammiferes WHERE (((Micromammiferes.sex)="females"));") The sql

Large for loops are slow. Try to avoid them using apply, sapply, etc. I've made the paste statements a lot shorter by using collapse. See ?paste for more info. Append.SQL <- function(x, channel){ sql="INSERT INTO logger (time, v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, v7, v8, v9, v10) VALUES("d1=strptime(x[2],"%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S %p '", d1, "' ,", paste(x[3:12],

Dear List, I have a problem with RODBC on a Paradox-DB, sqlQuery, and special characters in table names. Unfortunately, some of the latter include the underscore <_>. And I am not able to change them. That's not a problem, when I quote the table name: > sqlQuery(channel2, 'SELECT * FROM "anmeldung-alt"') Btw, if I swap ' and " it does not work: >

Hi R-users, I'm trying to retrieve data from MS SQL database with RODBC's sqlQuery-function: temp <- sqlQuery(channel,"select *, (select text from table1 where koodi='paa' and koodi2=paa) as tempor from table2") str(temp) … $ var0 : num NA NA 1.6 NA NA 1.4 NA 1 NA NA ... $ var1 : Factor w/ 45 levels "

Dear list, I have a rather large dataset in SAS which I export to a SQLite database for subsequent use in R. One of the columns is cowidp 1881501224.2 1881501224.2 and the column is stored as a character in SAS. It becomes a varchar in the database (it should be - it is an identifier; not a number). Reading this into R gives cowidp 1 1881501224 2 1881501224 .... - i.e. the

Hello, Im trying to get a Oracle database to R, but I'm having problems with most of SQL sintax. Suppose that Im trying to bring a table "TABLE" with columns "COL1","COL2",.. from schema "SCHEMA".

Hello, We lost our SAS licence & I am busy transfering my old SAS programs to R environment. I am very new to R. In 1 program I was creating SAS macro vars & passing them into a SQL query to run against the server. There are 3 variables firm, begindt, enddt. # of values for each varies month to month. Is there anyway I could do the same thing in R & pass the afore mentioned values

All - I'm new to SQL and the RODBC package. I've read the documentation associated with the RODBC package, but I'm still having problems with my SQL statements; I think my syntax, particularly with respect to my WHERE statement, is off but I can't find any documentation as to why. When I run a query from within the Access2007 database, it looks like this: SELECT

Hi there, I've got a database or rather spreadsheet with several columns and rows. For one column named sites I want to loop through all possible values and retrieve all data out of the database where site = x and write it into an object named 'sitex_data'. Somehow I'm really missing something as I'm not able to create these sitex_data objects with the database values,

I have searched the archives for using insert into to update spreadsheets using RODBC and have come up short. So, first off, is it possible? I have put together a dummy xls table (c:\foo.xls)for exploring possibilities of RODBC. Ultimately, I am interested in replacing much of our previous use of vba macros with R ( I'd prefer elimination, but will take what I can get ). In order to

Hello all, I am having trouble running a count function in R using RODBC to query a table I created in Oracle. It may very well be that my SQL coding is incorrect; I just started learning it. But if someone could point me in the right direction or tell me if I am going about this the correct way that would be greatly appreciated! The script I have right now is: >require(RODBC)

Hello R users, I would like to use an integer and a date as attributes in sqlQuery, and these arguments are defined in my function.

Hi R users. sorry for missing example and if question is to general but I am wondering if it is possible to execute subqueries in function sqlQuery (package RODBC) with opened connection with Excel or SQL server 2000.

Greetings guRus -- I have successfully queried a large (24,445 rows by 281 cols.) in-house database using the following RODBC query (without the line breaks) testout <- sqlQuery(channel, "select idSchedule,EXCL_Total from dbo.vwC1198_2006_RawData_With_CMPL_EXCL") This returns a dataframe of 24445 rows and two columns (as intended), but the following command testout
