Folks, I failed to create a connection to the database under MySQL DBMS in the R system via RMySQL's method dbConnection(...). My setup is as follows: Microsoft Windows XP 5.1.2600 MySQL 4.1.9 R 2.0.1 DBI 0.1-8 RMySQL 0.5-5 Both of DBI and RMySQL packages were downloaded from bell lab: http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI/download/index.html My case in R is as follows: > library(DBI)

Hi, I had my R to MySQL 5.0 connection working fine under 2.5.1 on Windows XP. My MySQL installation is local, not on a server and I could connect with: con <- dbConnect(MySQL(), dbname = "mydatabase", user="root", password="XX") I have updated to R 2.8.1 (RMySQL 0.7-2) but that same line of code yields: Error in mysqlNewConnection(drv, ...) : RS-DBI driver:

Hello, I have trouble installing and loading the RMySQL package on OS X 2.8. The package seems to install from source fine (using R package manager from within the R environment).

Hi there. I see in a post from 2002 that you got the following problem with RMySQL: > con <- dbConnect(m) Process R segmentation fault at Wed Aug 28 08:21:11 2002 I have the same problem today: drv=dbDriver("MySQL") dbConnect(drv) # or with pretty much any other failing options Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00002b28d60c9fa0 in strlen () from

I have upgraded R on my Linux box from 1.5.1 to 1.6.1 using the binary distributions for redhat 7.x. My machine is runing: Linux 2.4.18-3 Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla) After upgrading R, I executed upgrade.packages() During the upgrading of the different packages there was an error on RMySQL. Here is a dump of the upgrading messages:

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

Since there doesn't appear to be an RMySQL rpm for SuSE 8.*, does anyone know if the 7.3 version will work with the SuSE 8.2 rpms of R and DBI? The package installs without complaint, but when I try to run con <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"),dbname="test") I get the error Error in dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL")) : couldn't find function

Hello, Q/ Is it possible to create a DBMS connection automatically on startup of R? (Making sure of course that the db server has been started...) I am running MySQL on Mac OS X 10.4.2 with R2.4.1. I have tried to write a function using the RMySQL commands (below) and place them in .First of .RProfile: drv <- dbDriver("MySQL") dbcon <- dbConnect(drv, {other parameters present in

Dear All, I haven't seen any further comments about the problem that John Marsland first noted and that I also have: > library(DBI) > library(RMySQL) Warning message: DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f > mgr <- dbDriver("MySQL") > con <- dbConnect(mgr, host="localhost", dbname="marketing") upon which R dies...

Being relatively new to R, I want to use R in connection with a MySQL database.

Hi all, I have experimented a segmentation fault error using RMySQL_0.4-6 library in R 1.5.1.

Hi, I was able to connect to a MySQL database (called "zooscan" and with a table "serie" under Win XP with R 1.6.2 using: > library(DBI) > library(RMySQL) Warning message: DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f > drv <- dbDriver("MySQL") > con <- dbConnect(drv, dbname="zooscan") > dbExistsTable(con,

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

Hello everybody, could anybody give me a hint how to to use RMySQL and ROracle libraries at the same time without getting conflict with name spaces?

R-help list, I ported some R code from MS Windows PC to sun-solaris. Both do queries on the same MySQL database. PC version of R is 1.6.1 and solaris version is 1.6.0. I use RMySQL_0.5-0 (on solaris) and RODBC 1.0-1 on PC to connect to MySQL. The PC version took about 65 mins. to run wheras the Solaris (SunOS 5.7) version took 375 mins. (> 6 hrs). R and RMySQL are resident on the same host
