Dear All, I have a setup where R pulls entries from a MySQL db server. I wanted to know whether the R interface can pull encrypted / compressed data from MySQLD.

Hi, I had my R to MySQL 5.0 connection working fine under 2.5.1 on Windows XP.

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.

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
