similar to: connecting RMySQL to and external server

Folks, I failed to create a connection to the database under MySQL DBMS in the R system via RMySQL's method dbConnection(...). My setup is as follows: Microsoft Windows XP 5.1.2600 MySQL 4.1.9 R 2.0.1 DBI 0.1-8 RMySQL 0.5-5 Both of DBI and RMySQL packages were downloaded from bell lab: http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI/download/index.html My case in R is as follows: > library(DBI)

Hi I just started with RMySQL. I have a database with roughly 12 millions rows/records and 8 columns/fields. From all 12 millions of records I want to import 3 fields only. The fields are specified as:id int(11), group char(15), measurement float(4,2). Why does this take > 1G RAM? I run R on suse linux, with 1G RAM and with the code below it even fills the whole 1G of swap. I just

Hi, I was able to connect to a MySQL database (called "zooscan" and with a table "serie" under Win XP with R 1.6.2 using: > library(DBI) > library(RMySQL) Warning message: DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f > drv <- dbDriver("MySQL") > con <- dbConnect(drv, dbname="zooscan") > dbExistsTable(con,

I get the following error trying to connect to a MySQL database: > library(RMySQL) Loading required package: DBI > drv<-dbDriver("MySQL") > con<-dbConnect(drv, user="hothand", password=xxx, host="localhost", dbname="hh03"); Error in mysqlNewConnection(drv, ...) : RS-DBI driver: (could not connect hothand at localhost on dbname

Hi. I frequently use RMySQL package to interface R with MySQL databases. I was having a try with package DBI and I got the following error: > library(RMySQL) > library(DBI) > drv <- dbDriver("MySQL") > ch <- dbConnect(drv, dbname="mydb", user="myuser", password="mypasswd") > ibm <- dbGetQuery(ch,"select * from table where

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. I have tried to write a function using the RMySQL commands (below) and place them in .First of .RProfile: drv <- dbDriver("MySQL") dbcon <- dbConnect(drv, {other parameters present in

Since there doesn't appear to be an RMySQL rpm for SuSE 8.*, does anyone know if the 7.3 version will work with the SuSE 8.2 rpms of R and DBI? The package installs without complaint, but when I try to run con <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"),dbname="test") I get the error Error in dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL")) : couldn't find function

Dear laurent, > This is what I did to make the connection : > > drv <- dbDriver("MySQL") > > con <- dbConnect(drv) Here's the error. You should give the database name. drv <-dbConnect(drv, dbname="dfghdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdf") ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > Then I should be able to send requests. But when I

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

I have justed upgraded R v1.7.0 on Windows NT 4 and have installed the latest RMySQL (version 0.5-1)and DBI (version 0.1-5) packages. When I issue the following commands (tactfully adjusted) R just crashes and disappears, any ideas? require(RMySQL) m <- dbDriver("MySQL") con <- dbConnect(m, dbname="xxx", user="xxx", password="xxx",

I just installed RMySQL 0.5-9 with R 2.4.0 on Windows XP and got the following error message when trying to run a script with RMySQL: Error in library(RMySQL) : 'RMySQL' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0? Any ideas? Thanks, Frank

Dear users, I can access an database oracle database using sql developer. This was done by importing an xml file that contains the login details - username, password and specifies that it uses the KERBEROS_AUTHENTICATION. I'm trying to connect R - so that it can access this database - do sql queries and convert the resulting tables into dataframes. I am a novice in SQL and database access

Hi everybody, I'm having a problem with connecting to my MySQL database. Each time I try to connect library(RMySQL) m <- dbDriver("MySQL") con <- dbConnect (m, host="my_host",username="my_username", password="my_password", dbname="name_of_db") it says Fehler in mysqlNewConnection(drv, ...) : RS-DBI driver: (could not connect

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.

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?

Dear All, I haven't seen any further comments about the problem that John Marsland first noted and that I also have: > library(DBI) > library(RMySQL) Warning message: DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f > mgr <- dbDriver("MySQL") > con <- dbConnect(mgr, host="localhost", dbname="marketing") upon which R dies...

(I am not sure if this is a bug or a request for a more understandable warning, or possible something obvious I should be posting on r-help.) I am trying to coerce an new class object to be a DBIConnection and it does not work the way I think it should: R version 2.5.1 (2007-06-27) ... > require("RMySQL") # or require("RSQLite") Loading required package: RMySQL Loading

Dear r helpers, At first, I apologize for raising a query which seems to be a stupid interpretation on my part. I am trying to learn SQLite. Following is an example given in the RSQLite.zip file (Page # 4) drv <- dbDriver("SQLite") tfile <- tempfile() con <- dbConnect(drv, dbname = tfile) data(USArrests) dbWriteTable(con, "arrests", USArrests) On the similar

Hi, I have two questions: 1) Since I switched to Windows 2007 and downloaded the current R version (2.12.1; 2010-12-16) for Windows 7 a month ago, I cannot down load packages through the GUI drop down menu. I get: Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/windows/contrib/2.12 Warning: unable to access index for repository
