Dear Rusers, I am trying to feed my database with data from a file. But since my file (2010101000.txt) there`s no headers I am facing problem because the result data.frame is not separated my columns. How could I set variables names for each columns in *dbWriteTable*? I have tried the command below but I don`t know how to fill the *field.type*option. dbWriteTable(con, "b20101010",

Hi All, I've finally gotten around to database access using R. I'm happily extracting rows from a MySQL database using RMySQL, but am having problems appending rows to an existing table. What I *want* to do is to append rows to the table, allowing the database to automatically generate primary key values. I've only managed to add rows by using dbWriteTable( con,

Dear colleague, I have two data frame which I tried to use dbWriteTable function with append=TRUE to write to the mysql database. The problem is that if I am run my R script directly then it is fine. Both data frame got written into the database. But when I tried to embed the script to be called as system("R --save < whatever.R") in my perl script, I saw very strange things. One

I have a table (contact) with several fields and it's PK is an auto increment field. I'm bulk loading data to this table from files which if successful will be about 3.5million rows (approx 16000 rows per file). However, I have a linking table (an_contact) to resolve a m:m relationship between the an and contact tables. How can I retrieve the PK's for the data bulk loaded into

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

Dear R User's Please help me to debug this issue. I am trying to write some data ( i= 6) to PostgreSQL database, but it not writing.

I am using R 2.8 and the latest versions of RMySQL on a Windows XP 64 bit machine. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to use dbWriteTable without inserting \r into my table. Consider the following code snippet, which is run after I connect to my database. myDFOut = dbReadTable(conn, "myDF") print(myDFOut) myDFIn = data.frame(x=paste("x", 1:5, sep =

I am feeling rather dumb right now. I created what I thought was a data.frame as follows: aaa <- lapply(split(moreinfo,list(moreinfo$m_id),drop = TRUE), fun_m_id) m_id_default_res <- do.call(rbind, aaa) print("==========================================") m_id_default_res print("==========================================") ndf <- m_id_default_res[, c('mid',

I don't use MySQL but I have seen messages like this before. They often have replies which indicate that you need to follow the instructions more closely. I suggest you search the list for these previous posts as I'm sure there is help there, somewhere!

Hi, I am trying to write a RMySQL sql script inside R such that part of the SQL would be R list or vector. For example, I want to select * from Atable where ID would equal to a members of R list or vector of "1, 2, 3". Here the ID list was generated inside R and then try to feed to mysql to call to get additional data sets. Can someone on the list help? Thanks. -- Waverley @ Palo

Greetings all, I am running R 2.5.1, RMySQL 0.6 , and DBI 0.2-3 on Windows XP Like others, I am having trouble with NA/Null value conversions between R and a MySQL database via DBI, but I could not find my exact problem in the archives. Most of the time NA values in R get transferred correctly to the database and back again, unless (apparently) if they are in the last column of the table being

Dear list, I'm working with a MySQL-Table and would like to extract selected ids that are stored in a vector: Ids <- c(1,2,3) How do I insert this variable in a for loop like this: For (a in values) { Temp <- dbGetQuery(con, "select * from db Where id = <ID>";) } My problem is to split the select-statement and insert the current id. How can I handle this problem?

Heya Folks, I can not find anything on executing insert statement through RMySQL, can someone please enlighten me? All i've found so far on getting data into a database is the write table functionality. Reading all data into memory appending additional information and writing that into a table is fine on my test environment, but won't be possible on the production environment because of

I have been having trouble getting RMySQL to work on Mac OS 10.4. It was working fine for me about a year ago but I didn't touch it for a while and several upgrades of R, MySQL, and OS X later, it is not working. I first had the problem that others have been having getting the error discussed in https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2005- November/002435.html saying that

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 <-

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, ...)

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

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, I have started to use RMySQL and I would like to use R to make batch changes to data. What it the best way to do this? Is it to download the table using dbGetQuery, manipulate the data in R and then dbWriteTable to delete the existing table and replace it with the local data. What I am concerned about this is that it might lose some mySQL table configuration options and it isn't a

Hi, I'm using R 1.9.0 with RMySQL 0.5-4 and MySQL 3.23.55 on a suse 8.2 box. I have a simulation study and (as usual for newbies in simulation, I guess) I have a lot of data that I want to store in MySQL. I want to write an R script that reads data from RData files and writes it to a MySQL database. I read some R documents (R Data Import/Export and DSC papers) but I'm finding
