Hi all, I am attempting to learn SQL through sqldf... One task I am particularly interested in is merging separate (presumably large) files into a single table without loading these files into R as an intermediate step (by loading them into SQLite and merging them there). Taking a step back, I've considered these alternatives: 1) I know if I use straight SQLite commands I might use the

I have 316 files. Each file represents a patient's breathing track (respiratory signal recorded for a variable number of cycles). All files have the same are made up of a header followed by a variable number of records. Each record contains 7 comma separated fields. The patient ID is recorder in the header which is stripped off when reading the file into a R data.frame. Since I need to keep

This is my first post. I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.3. I am running R 2.11.0 GUI 1.33 64 bit. This may or may not be related to sqldf, but I experienced this problem while attempting to use an sqldf query. The same code runs with no problem on my Windows machine. Here is what happens: > r=sqldf("select ... ") Loading required package: tcltk Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Then

Dear All, Is sqldf equipped with delete queries? I have tried delete queries but with no success. Thanks in advance, Paul

Dear All, When one loads certain packages, some other dependent packages are loaded as well. Is there some way of detaching them automatically when one detaches the first package loaded? For instance, > library(sqldf) Loading required package: RSQLite Loading required package: DBI Loading required package: gsubfn Loading required package: proto but > detach(package:sqldf) > >

In performing Rcmd check I am getting this output regarding using Argument '' and a NULL package not found and it stops with an error: * using log directory 'C:/Rpkgs/sqldf.Rcheck' * using ARGUMENT ' ' __ignored__ R version 2.5.1 (2007-06-27) * checking for file 'sqldf/DESCRIPTION' ...

Dear all, I have a repository file (let's call it repo.txt) that contain two columns like this: # tag value AAA 0.2 AAT 0.3 AAC 0.02 AAG 0.02 ATA 0.3 ATT 0.7 Given another query vector > qr <- c("AAC", "ATT") I would like to find the corresponding value for each query above, yielding: 0.02 0.7 However, I want to avoid slurping whole repo.txt

Hi, I'm working in R 2.11.1 x64 on Windows x86_64-pc-mingw32. I'm trying to insert a very large CSV file into a SQLite database. I'm pretty new to working with databases in R, so I apologize if I'm overlooking something obvious here. I'm trying to work with the American Community Survey data, which is two 1.3GB csv files. I have enough RAM to read one of them into memory,

sqldf is an R package for running SQL select statements on one or more R data frames. It is optimized for convenience making it useful for ad hoc queries against R data frames. Given an SQL select statement whose tables are the names of R data frames it: - sets up the database (by default it transparently sets up an in memory SQLite database using RSQLite; however, MySQL via RMySQL, can be

Hi RUsers, I am wonder if I can search observations whose IDs matches any of the values in another vector, such as in MySQL. While I am learing MySQL for future database management, I appreciate if anyone could give me a hint. Suppose I have one 5*1 vector containing observation IDs and frequencies, and one 3*1 vector containing observation IDs. observation<-c(1,2,3,4,5) ID<-c(1,3,4)

I have two data frame A and B adn want to cross them. A has format as: a1 a2 a3 1 2 3 2 3 1 1 3 2 ... B: b1 b2 1 2 2 1 ... the combine result shall be something like a1 a2 a3 b1 b2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 3 2 1 2 3 1 1 2 2 3 1 2 1 1 3 2 1 2 1 3 2 2 1 .... is there a function able of doing this instead of loops? Thanks, Sun

Hi, sqldf sounds like a very useful package but I don't even get the example to run: > a1s <- sqldf("select * from warpbreaks limit 6") Error in combine(FUN(...)) : argument "value" is missing, with no default > I am using R 2.6.1 on Windows Vista Business and have updated all packages. Some help would be very much appreciated. Many thanks, Werner

Dear list, I need to read in a big table with 487 columns and 238,305 rows (row names and column names are supplied). Is there a code to read in the table in a fast way? I tried the read.table() but it seems that it takes forever :( Thanks a lot! Best, Allen

Hello, When I am writing in sqldf or RSQLite I lose the decimals in my matrix. The only way I can get decimals is by multiplying by 1.00000, etc. I have tried manipulating the options, but it is only effective once I multiply by 1.0000. I appreciate any suggestions! Thanks! Example: z <- sqldf ("select ST, SUM(AGEP*PWGTP)*1.000000000/SUM(PWGTP)*1.00000000000000 as wgtage from ss09

Hi, I post this message to the general r-help list hoping anyone within a wider range have suggestions: There are three ways to integration R and postgres, especially on 64bit Microsoft windows Platform, 1. via RODBC package, which has 32 bit and 64 bit version for windows 2. via RPostgres interface, which only has 32bit version currently 3. via plr for Greenplum, which only supports a

Hi All, I have a very (very) large tab-delimited text file without headers. There are only 8 columns and millions of rows. I want to make numerous pieces of this file by sub-setting it for individual stations. Station is given as in the first column. I am trying to learn and use sqldf package for this but am stuck in a couple of places. To simulate my requirement, I have taken iris dataset as an
