Hi Dirk I think there are problems with pg_config, the configure script of RPostgreSQL checks for pg_config and got ¡°checking for pg_config... /usr/bin/pg_config¡±. In Solaris 10u7 X64, three versions of PostgreSQL are installed, there are in /usr/postgres/8.2(8.2.9) and /usr/postgres/8.3(8.3.3), the corresponding bin files are in /usr/postgres/<version>/bin and

Hi, I am using RpgSQL to retrieve data from a PostgreSQL database wich is with encoding UTF8, and I have some Chinese character in one of the columns, unfortunately R can't show it correctly. > df <- dbGetQuery(con, "select * from test") > df a b 1 1 ????????\xa2 2 2 ???? EURO\xa1 I see the following option, do I need to change the encoding option to show

Hello, Using the RpgSQL package, there must be a way to get the row names into the table automatically. In the example below, I'm trying to get rid of the cbind line, yet have the row names of the data frame populate a column. > bentest = matrix(1:4,2,2) > dimnames(bentest) = list(c('ra','rb'),c('ca','cb')) > bentest ca cb ra 1 3 rb 2 4 >

Hello, I'm using package RpgSQL. Is there a better way to create a multi-line query/character string? I'm looking for less to type and readability. This is not very readable for large queries: s <- 'create table r.BOD("id" int primary key,"name" varchar(12))' I write a lot of code, so I'm looking to type less than this, but it is more readable from

Hello, When I do: dbWriteTable(con, "r.BOD", cbind(row_names = rownames(BOD), BOD)) ...can I specify the data types such as varchar(12), float, double precision, etc. for each of the fields/columns? If not, what is the best way to create a table with specified field data types (with the RpgSQL package/R)? Regards, Ben [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am using Rattle 2.6.4 with R 2.12.2 on win64, is this a bug ? Following is the content after execute the associate analysis process: Summary of the Apriori Association Rules: Number of Rules: 23351 Summary of the Measures of Interestingness: support confidence lift Min. :0.1250 Min. :1 Min. :2.667 1st Qu.:0.1250 1st Qu.:1 1st Qu.:2.667 Median :0.1250

The idea is that one wants to write the line of code below in a general way which works the same whether you specify ix as one column or multiple columns but the naming entirely changes when you do this and BOD[, 1] and transform(BOD, X=..., Y=...) or other hard coding solutions still require writing multiple cases. ix <- 1:2 transform(BOD, X = BOD[ix] * seq(6)) On Tue, Jul 24, 2018 at

Note the inconsistency in the names in these two examples. X.Time in the first case and Time.1 in the second case. > transform(BOD, X = BOD[1:2] * seq(6)) Time demand X.Time X.demand 1 1 8.3 1 8.3 2 2 10.3 4 20.6 3 3 19.0 9 57.0 4 4 16.0 16 64.0 5 5 15.6 25 78.0 6 7 19.8 42 118.8 >

I am just starting to code in R and need some help as I am used to doing this in SAS. I have a dataset that looks like this: Chemical Well1 Well2 Well3 Well4 BOD 13.2 14.2 15.5 14.2 O2 7.8 2.6 3.5 2.4 TURB 10.2 14.6 18.5 17.3 and so on with more chemicals....

Is anyone using R with postgres? I'd like to do so, but cannot seem to find any reasonable explanation of how to do so. Joshua Gramlich Chicago, IL

Hi list, I'm sure the explanation must be laughably simple to the experts out there, but I just could figure it out. I have a simple data frame that looks like, >head(da.off) DDate OffP 1 2005-01-01 41.23 2 2005-01-02 44.86 3 2005-01-03 44.86 4 2005-01-04 43.01 5 2005-01-05 45.47 6 2005-01-06 48.62 where the first column DDate currently is character, and OffP is numeric. I want

Dear All, Is sqldf equipped with delete queries? I have tried delete queries but with no success. Thanks in advance, Paul

Hello All, I am trying to write a function which would operate on columns of a dataframe specified in parameters passed to that function. f = function(dataf, col1 = "column1", col2 = "column2") { dataf$col1 = dataf$col2 # just as an example } The above, of course, does not work as intended. In some languages one can force evaluation of a variable, and then

Hi all, I'm trying to install an add-on package for R called RPgSQL. Its role will be to link R with a PostgreSql database. I work on a Linux machine. However, I'm quite a newbie as far as R's concerned, and I don't manage to install the package properly. That's the steps I followed : * downloading the package (archive) * R CMD INSTALL /path/to/package.tar.gz (as

Dear R-helpers, I'm an absolute beginner using both R and PostgreSQL, but now I have to work with both programs. I need to connect R and my Postgres-database, but every attempt so far has failed (I tried using the RpgSQL package as well as RdbiPgSQL, the first, following this manual (http://code.google.com/p/rpostgresql/) didn't find any drivers for the database (step no. 1) whereas the
