Dear R community, I tried to optimized my R code by using Rprof. In my R code I'm using MySQL database connections intensively. After a bunch of queries R fails with the following error message: Error in .Call("RS_MySQL_newConnection", drvId, con.params, groups, PACKAGE = .MySQLPkgName) : RS-DBI driver: (could not connect mylogin@mydatabase on dbname "myDB"

Hello everybody, I found that queries (send by "dbExecStatement" ) with more than 4000 characters length produces an error in ROracle (ver 0.3-3). Maybe there is a limitation of 4kB.... Is this a bug? If yes, is this problem solved in the latest version of ROracle (ver 0.5-0)? My system information: platform sparc-sun-solaris2.8 arch sparc os solaris2.8

Hello everybody, if I'm running a R-script on a command line R-session which uses the function "try" and I'd like to interrupt the execution of my R-script pressing "CTRL-C" than R ignores the first "CTRL-C" key stroke and after I pressed "CTRL-C" second time R by itself is interrupted and I fall back to the (UNIX-) command prompt.

Hello everybody, could anybody give me a hint, who I can use rbind on a list of data.frames, please? I have a list with a large number of data.frames of the same structure, like: LIST <- list(X1=data.frame(a=1,b=2), X2=data.frame(a=3,b=4), X3=data.frame(a=5,b=6), ...., XN=data.frame(a=i,b=k)) I would like to bind all data.frames very fast to a single data.frame, something like that: DF <-

Hello everybody, if I'm using par(xpd=NA) gridlines will plotted outside the plotting region. This is "new" (and, in my opinion, unaesthetic) in version 1.4 - compared to version 1.3. Is this a bug or a feature? Example: ------------------ par(xpd=NA) plot(1:11) grid() ------------------ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6 arch sparc os solaris2.6

Hello everybody, Could anybody give me a hint how I can use "layout" and "filled.contour" (or "image" plot with a color legend) together, please? What I want to do is something like the following example (Two or more plots with a legend for each at one page): data(volcano) layout(matrix(1:2, 1, 2, byrow = TRUE)) for (i in 1:2) { filled.contour(i*volcano, color =

Hello everybody, is there a possibility to install and use multiple versions of a R library at the same time? A few words regarding the background of this question: If I change functions of an already developed package, I have to verify complex functions in a lot of R applications. So it would be useful to use different versions of a function/library and switch to the newer function/library

Hello everybody, I have following string type and try to convert it to float: > a<-"20020104.123456" > str(as.numeric(a)) num 20020104 > str(as.real(a)) num 20020104 > str(as.double(a)) num 20020104 How can I get an float instead of an integer? How can I set the desired precision? Thanks in advance Lutz Thieme Lutz Thieme AMD Saxony Manfacturing GmbH Product

Hello everybody, is there a way to get the file name of the source file from which I read and execute my R code? In other words: If I'm executing "source('myRfile.r')" I'd like to have a statement inside myRfile.r like "src.file<-$0" (in unix csh style) which assigns th variable src.file to 'myRfile.r' . Thanks in advance! Best regards, Lutz

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?

I checked my entire setup again and again. Now I can see the my share. The most relevant change I did (afaik - ofcourse): - since I am using ad backend I created dedicated unix admin groups (as recommended in the docs) - I removed the $ from the share section/defnition ([projects$] -> [projects]) - I changed browseable switch from 'no' to 'yes' Iam still getting the "event
