similar to: How to connect R to Mysql?

I am using R 2.8 and the latest versions of RMySQL on a Windows XP 64 bit machine. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to use dbWriteTable without inserting \r into my table. Consider the following code snippet, which is run after I connect to my database. myDFOut = dbReadTable(conn, "myDF") print(myDFOut) myDFIn = data.frame(x=paste("x", 1:5, sep =

Hi All, I've finally gotten around to database access using R. I'm happily extracting rows from a MySQL database using RMySQL, but am having problems appending rows to an existing table. What I *want* to do is to append rows to the table, allowing the database to automatically generate primary key values. I've only managed to add rows by using dbWriteTable( con,

I'm having trouble getting RMySQL to load. I was able to build it and install it (RMySQL_0.5-11.tar.gz). I was also able to build and install mysql-5.0.37. I've read many postings about this but have not found a mention of my particular problem (some closely related). I get the "unable to load shared library, no such file" error, but all the files do exist, RMySQL.so and

There is a little problem in handling logicals in RMySQL: # here is the MySQL connection > con <MySQLConnection:(1816,0)> # here is the data frame > print(a<-data.frame(x=c(TRUE,FALSE),y=c(FALSE,TRUE))) x y 1 TRUE FALSE 2 FALSE TRUE # as promised, the two data frame columns are identified as logicals and # the field types are set to tinyint > field.types <-

I don't use MySQL but I have seen messages like this before. They often have replies which indicate that you need to follow the instructions more closely. I suggest you search the list for these previous posts as I'm sure there is help there, somewhere!

I've been putting together a package that defined generic methods for database access. The packages is called "Rdbi." It borrows as much as possible from existing database packages / proposals. I'd like to start a discussion about the proposed interface. Here's what I've come up with so far: # # Rdbi: connectionMethods.R # dbConnect <- function(dbObj, ...)

Using the package /RMySQL/ I have established a connection ('con1') to a MySQL-Database called 'mc'. This database contains a table called 'mc_2000' which has 200000 observations on several variables. One of these variables is called 'B5' (type 'double'). When I generate a numeric vector in R called 'B6' that has the same length as 'B5': How

If I save a dataframe with a character-typed last column to a relational database with dbWriteTable, the values in the last column of the resulting table in the database will have a '\r' (carriage return) appended. If I read back the dataframe with dbReadTable the last column in the resulting dataframe has also '\r' appended (see protocol below). Setting or unsetting sql-mode

What am I doing wrong, or is the \r that I'm getting in the example below a bug? > a <- (1:10) > b <- (LETTERS[1:10]) > df <- as.data.frame(cbind(a, b)) > > df a b 1 1 A 2 2 B 3 3 C 4 4 D 5 5 E 6 6 F 7 7 G 8 8 H 9 9 I 10 10 J > library(RSQLite) > drv <- dbDriver("SQLite") > con <- dbConnect(drv, dbname = "Test")

It seems that the dbReadTable() method provided by RMySQL could not get rid of the headers, neither the index column... So 1. Can I use read.table() method to get a table of MySQL database? >From the help document the argument of 'file' of read.table() method could be a connection... 2. How can I obtain a matrix from the database table contains all elements except the headers and the

Hi, I'm experimenting with using (R)SQLite to do data management. Here are two little problems that I've encountered: 1. The presence of ',' in string values causes trouble since ',' is also the delimiter used in the SQL statement. 2. A newline '\n' line attached to the last string value of each row. Some examples: > library (RSQLite) Loading required

Hi, useR- In RMySQL, how do I overwrite records? (equivalent to "replace" query). For example, suppose that dat2 is a newer data.frame than dat1. con <- dbConnect(MySQL()) res <- dbWriteTable(con, "DBname", dat1, row.names=F, append=T, replace=T) res <- dbWriteTable(con, "DBname", dat2, row.names=F, append=T, replace=T) This would not update/replace the

Hi all, This is a potentially very stupid question about MySQL <-> R interaction, but I have not been able to solve it. I'm just trying to connect R to my MySQL databse, and gets this: > library(RMySQL) Loading required package: methods > m <- dbDriver("MySQL") > con <- dbConnect(m,group="testdb") Process R segmentation fault at Wed Oct 16 07:04:30

Hi folks, I'm prepared building my own datafiles, simple file at start, for testing wondering how to process? Which software will be used, MySQL/MS-SQL/MS-Excel/Open Office-Calc etc? On searching I found r-cran-rmysql on Ubuntu repo. Further searching I found; RMySQL: R interface to the MySQL database http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RMySQL/index.html Whether install the above

I have been having trouble getting RMySQL to work on Mac OS 10.4. It was working fine for me about a year ago but I didn't touch it for a while and several upgrades of R, MySQL, and OS X later, it is not working. I first had the problem that others have been having getting the error discussed in https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2005- November/002435.html saying that

Hi, I'm using R 1.9.0 with RMySQL 0.5-4 and MySQL 3.23.55 on a suse 8.2 box. I have a simulation study and (as usual for newbies in simulation, I guess) I have a lot of data that I want to store in MySQL. I want to write an R script that reads data from RData files and writes it to a MySQL database. I read some R documents (R Data Import/Export and DSC papers) but I'm finding

Hello R users, I am reading data into R from RMySQL or SQLite databases which are in Spanish language. I am using RMySQL library and function dbReadTable but I could not get characters with ñ and tilde, instead R does put ?. In the past I could manage it modifying the R options as (using windows): op <- options() op$encoding <- "iso-8859-1" options(op) but now in ubuntu it did

Hi, I have a question reading using RMySQL trying to load one R vector into a table column. To be more specifically, the table is there populated. Now I add a new column and want to populate this. Can some colleagues on this list teach me how to do this? I know how to write one R object/table into MYSQL table using dbWriteTable. But in this situation, I just want to do one column. Thanks
