similar to: Reading config data from text files

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:

Quick question about the configuration files relative to RMySQL (I've tried to get feedback directly from the author David James, but his email address was non-responsive): Documentation at http://cran.r-project.org/doc/packages/RMySQL.pdf on page 3 indicates that for windows machines the only place that the my.cnf file will be looked for is the root (C:\) directory. Is this read correct?

Hello, I'm trying to use RMySQL (0.4-6) on Win2000 Server and I'm not able to pass the authentication parameters via my.cnf.

If MyGroup exists the Rgui is disappearing ! In case not existing it simply

List, Last week with the help of Uwe and some other folks I was able to get RMySQL 0.5-7 compiled against R 2.4.1 and MySQL 5.0.27. It was working fine--I was able to send select queries to the db, put the results in a data frame, and so forth. Today, dbDriver() threw an error: > dbDriver(MySQL) Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an inherited method for

(thread renamed from Re: [R-sig-DB] RMySQL release candidate 0-7.0) Building on Uwe's comments and my own thoughts I suggest variables like SKIP_POSTGRESQL, SKIP_MYSQL, SKIP_SQLITE, SKIP_ORACLE, SKIP_ODBC, SKIP_FAME be used to signal that tests should not be run. If these are not set to something then the tests will be attempted, so skipping the tests is not likely to happen by accident.

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.

The point is that we installed Xampp as suite for mysql, perl, apache and php on every node, and we need to use R scripts with mysql. Xampp doesn't compile anything, it gives you pre-compiled binaries all linked together, you just extract from a tarball. At my first try,
