Hi all, I am attempting to learn SQL through sqldf... One task I am particularly interested in is merging separate (presumably large) files into a single table without loading these files into R as an intermediate step (by loading them into SQLite and merging them there). Taking a step back, I've considered these alternatives: 1) I know if I use straight SQLite commands I might use the

Hi - I am something of a newbie and am a little perplexed. When (trying to) modify a table I issue the following commands with subsequent errors sqldf("alter table Korea drop column code", dbname = "mydb") error in statement: near "drop": syntax error or sqldf("alter table Korea rename column hyr to hyrI", dbname = "mydb") error in statement:

SQldf with sqlite and H2 I have a large csv file (about 2GB) and wanted to import the file into R and do some filtering and analysis. Came across sqldf ( a great idea and product) and was trying to play around to see what would be the best method of doing this. csv file is comma delimited with some columns having comma inside the quoation like this "John, Doe". I tried this first

Hi All, I have a very (very) large tab-delimited text file without headers. There are only 8 columns and millions of rows. I want to make numerous pieces of this file by sub-setting it for individual stations. Station is given as in the first column. I am trying to learn and use sqldf package for this but am stuck in a couple of places. To simulate my requirement, I have taken iris dataset as an

Hello Group, I am having trouble with the sqldf package on unix. The same code works fine on windows. Silly Example script: # Load the package library(sqldf) # Use the titanic data set data(women) colnames(women) head(women) sqldf('select height, count(*) from women where height is not null group by weight') Unix Output and error: bash-3.00$ R --vanilla <testR.R

I've been using sqldf heavily lately but have encountered problems with ordering of observations or calculating statistics such as max() and min() when the variable used is of class Date. For example, if I run the following code: =============== begin code ================= library(sqldf)

Dear subscribers: I am using the following code to read a large number of big text files: library(sqldf) tempd <- file(XXXX) tempdx <- sqldf("select * from tempd", dbname = tempfile(), file.format = list(header = T, sep="\t", row.names = F)) The problem is: all my numberical variable become factor (maybe because these columns all contain missing value). It would be

Hello, I am having trouble with retrieving some data in queries involve with variables with data type "date". See the enclosed example: ll<-c("21DEC2006","15DEC2006") ss<-data.frame(ll) ss<-transform(ss,ll=as.date(as.character(ll))) (ss) ll 1 17156 2 17150 tt<-sqldf("select ll from ss") (tt) > ll 1 NA 2 NA > str(ss)

Hi, I have a query about sqldf, and dates in general. I couldnt find much on the net or on the forums, hence I am here. Here is the issue: I want to write a function that accepts 3 arguments: date1, date2 and a dataframe, say 'df'. Within the function, I want to populate a temp dataframe which essentially contains the output of the query "select * from df where DATE between date1

Dear all, I recently read the book " R data preperation and manipulation using sqldf package" by Djoni Darmawikarta However, I have a problem with manipulation of dates using this package, I do not get the expected results. Do I need to install some packages to be able to subset the data by dates in sqldf? I am not getting Djoni Darmawikarta email address. Please see the practice

Hi, I'm working in R 2.11.1 x64 on Windows x86_64-pc-mingw32. I'm trying to insert a very large CSV file into a SQLite database. I'm pretty new to working with databases in R, so I apologize if I'm overlooking something obvious here. I'm trying to work with the American Community Survey data, which is two 1.3GB csv files. I have enough RAM to read one of them into memory,

I'm trying to use sqldf to query for the earliest date of a blood test when patients have had multiple tests in a given year. My query looks like this: test11 <- sqldf("select CHILD_ID, min(SAMP_DATE) from lab group by CHILD_ID having extract (year from SAMP_DATE) = 2011") SAMP_DATE has class "date." I get the error

Hello, I'm having trouble discovering what's going wrong with my use of natural joins via sqldf. Following the instructions under 4i at http://code.google.com/p/sqldf/, which discusses creating indices to speed joins, I have been only unreliably able to get natural joins to work. For example, > Tid <- c('AES 01-01-02 10:58:00', 'AES 01-01-02 11:53:00', 'AES

Fellow R programmers, I'd like to submit SQLDF statements with R objects as column names. For example, I want to assign "X" to "var1" (var1<-"X") and then refer to "var1" in the SQLDF statement. SQLDF needs to understand that when I reference "var1", it should look for "X" in the dataframe. This is necessary because my SQLDF

Hi, sqldf is a fantastic package, but when the SELECT procedure runs unused levels remain in the output. I tried with the drop function, but without success. Do you have any suggestions?
