similar to: MySQL query and character set

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, ...)

Hi. I am trying to get data from mysql database using a couple of queries. I do one query to find out the indexes. Then i need to use these indexes in another query, but i keep getting errors. Here is something: numb <- dbSendQuery(con2, "select distinct(comparison) from table1") count <- fetch(numb, -1) my.matrix <- as.matrix(count) rs <- dbSendQuery(con2, "select

Hello, This forum has been very helpful to me in the past, and I've run out of ideas on how to solve my problem. I had been using R and MySQL (and Perl) together for quite some time successfully on my Windows XP machine. However, I recently had some problems with MySQL (the ibdata file had become 35GB on my hard drive, turns out it's a known bug with InnoDB), and ultimately the way I

R HELP, I am trying to use an R script to connect to a mysql database. I am having a problem using a variable in the where clause that contains a "space" in its value. If I include the variable inside the quotes of the query - i think it is searching for the name of the variable in the database and not the value of the variable. If I put it outside the quotes, then it complains

Dear developers, I have come across a (somewhat strange) change in the encoding of Sweave output from R-2.9.2pat to R-2.10.0beta (apparently specific to Rgui) on Windows installations. Of course, the NEWS file contains quite a few changes concerning encoding, but I was not able to locate an entry which explains the observed behaviour. I am not very familiar with encodings/locales/codepages,

Hello, I would like to retrieve data stored in MySQL database, so I installed RMySQL package. I can successfully connect with the my database using the following code > dvr<-dbDriver("MySQL") > con2<-dbConnect(dvr,group="exbardiv") > mysqlDescribeConnection(con2) <MySQLConnection:(972,0)> User: mmorag Host: localhost Dbname: exbardiv

Dear R-Users, I need a very fast and reliable database solution so I try to serialize a data.frame (to binary data) and to store this data to an SQLite database. This is what I tried to do: library(RSQLite) con <- dbDriver("SQLite") db <- dbConnect(con, "test") dbSendQuery(db, 'CREATE TABLE frames("simID" INT, "data" BLOB)') data.bin <-

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

I have to present german umlaute as "?" on my webpage. When writing the text within the view, everything is fine - the characters are presented correctly. When I declare variable within the controller (e.g. via flash or as a list of values for a listbox) the text is displayed with the umlaute replaced by strange characters. I assume I have to adjust the character encoding somewhere.

Hello everyone, I have a problem when I execute queries using R 2.3.1 and MySql server 5.0. What I do: I load data in different csv files (every file represents a particular temporal step of a simulation) using Mysql query "load data" with RMySQL command DbSendQuery (but the same problem there is also using DbWritetable). Then I use a function where I have a lot of queries that interact

Someone solved the problem of saving R-objects to a database? These are the two varaints I've tried so far without success: 1) ser = rawToChar(serialize(obj, NULL, ascii=TRUE)) dbSendQuery(link, paste("insert into table values(1, '",ser,"')",sep='')) The field to save the object in the MySQL Database is of type text. unser = dbGetQuery(link,"select

Hi, I just installed ROracle and RDBI. The connection to the database seems to work also. My problem is when I am selection rows that really exist in the database, it is returning nothing.

Hi, I recently upgraded to R 2.9.0 on linux x86. After doing so, I switched to the RPostgreSQL package for interfacing with a postgresql database. I am using postgresql 8.3.7. A query that works from the postgresql terminal is causing a segfault when executed from R. My sessionInfo, the error message, and the R code used to generate the error are listed below. I have noticed that a

Hello R users, I found the odfWeave package to create an odf document. It seems to be a very nice tool. So i tried to used it to create a report with multiple plot: I create an odt file with some code inside: I connect to a mysql database I get a list of projects foreach project I would like to make a plot (a map exactly) then in a R console I use the odfweave (inFile, outFile) function.

Dear R experts, Does RMySQL package handle Blob datatype in a MySQL database? Blob can represent an image, a sound or some other large and complex binary objects. In an article published by R-database special interest group, named "A common database interface (DBI)" (updated June 2003), it's mentioned in "open issues and limitations" that "We need to carefully plan

hello R-Users, I have this simple but not for me question: I do: > res<-dbSendQuery(con, "SELECT * FROM tabellaProva") > myDataFrame<-fetch(res) > myDataMatrix<-as.matrix(myDataFrame[,-1]) > namerows(myDataMatrix)<-as.character(myDataFrame[,1]) and I have: io tu io "0" "1" tu "1" "0" my problem is that the

Hi, first thanks to Sunny Ho (and David James for the pointer) for resolving the problem of the empty rows returned from ROracle. However, I have a problem still: > library(ROracle) > ora <- dbDriver("Oracle") > con <- dbConnect(ora, user = USER, password = PWD, dbname = DBNAME) > rs <- dbExecStatement(con, "select * from USER_TABLES") Error in

I am trying something I haven't attempted before and the available documentation doesn't quite answer my questions (at least in a way I can understand). My usual course of action would be to extract my data from my DB, do whatever manipulation is necessary, either manually or using a C++ program, and then import the data into R. Now I need to try to do it all within R+RMySQL+MySQL. I

Hi, recently I see lots of logs like this. I figured, that many have umlaute in their name - but not all. My local FS displays the umlaute correctly - but it is not displayed correctly in the logfiles. Also, when I browse through shares via Windows or MacOSx all files with umlaute seem to be displayed correctly. May 5 08:27:54 Storage-01 smbd[39207]: recycle: stat for
