Hello everyone! Congratulations by this gorgeous software. My name is Germán Carrillo, I'm writting from Colombia.

Hi, I'm running Debian (Sid), Postgres (7.3.4) and R (1.8.1). I get the following error when I tri to use DBI >library("DBI") > p <- dbDriver("PostgreSQL") Error in do.call(as.character(drvName), list(...)) : couldn't find function "PostgreSQL" Is there any other package I need in order to interface between R and Postgres ?

Hi, i am trying to connect to a DB2 server using the DBI library. getData <- function() { driver <- dbDriver("DB2") conn <- dbConnect(driver,"server","uname","pword") data <- dbSendquery(conn, "select etc.") } When I run the function, i get the error > data <- getData() Error in

I am trying to follow directions at http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-exts.html#Suggested-packages regarding handling suggested packages with requireNamespace() rather than require(), and I have some questions. 1/ When I do requireNamespace() in a function is the loading of the namespace only effective within the function? 2/ At the link above in the manual it says "Note

Hello, I installed RGui 2.5.1 and package DBI on Windows XP and tried to connect to Oracle database which is on a Linux server.

Hi, I would like to be able to use R with a connection to a PostgreSQL database. I am using R 2.0.1 on windows XP. I have tried installing both the DBI and rDBI packages (which is better?) but in either case I run into the same problem - when i try to use either the dbDriver or dbConnect functions i'm told the function couldn't be found. Seems like the packages aren't installing

Dear List In my short life as a beginning R-user i've encountered a following problem that i'm unable to solve myself: I have a database in MySQL containing table and field names as well as some data containing Polish accentuated characters (like ????), utf8-encoded. It works just fine with just any external query browser i can find, jdbc, odbc, native, whatever. Also mysql is happy

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

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 have been installing and using the RMySQL package, version 0.5-3 with R versions 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 on Windows XP without any problem. I installed the package using the .zip binary package available at http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI/download/index.html. However, I ran into a problem using this package with the latest version 2.0.0 of R. The installation went ok, but loading the library using

can anybody provide a reference to a document on using DBI and what is needed to make it work? I try: drv=dbDriver("Oracle") and it complains about not finding a function. The DBI.pdf does not require anything else installed, but looking at the archive I discovered there is more stuff to be installed. This is on Solaris 5.10 with a full Oracle install, so all Oracle libs are

Hi I Can't connect to the Oracle database, any tips?

Hi all, This is a potentially very stupid question about MySQL <-> R interaction, but I have not been able to solve it. I'm just trying to connect R to my MySQL databse, and gets this: > library(RMySQL) Loading required package: methods > m <- dbDriver("MySQL") > con <- dbConnect(m,group="testdb") Process R segmentation fault at Wed Oct 16 07:04:30

Should functions or the user be responsible for coercing an S4 object argument containing the proper object (and thus should below be considered a bug in the packages or not)? The example is with RSQLite but the same thing happens with RMySQL, and other DBI packages. > library("RSQLite") Loading required package: DBI > m <- dbDriver("SQLite") > con <-

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 list, I created my rpm for Bacula 9.4.1 reading centos srpm spec files. I made a single package and not split in several packages because this is my first rpm so I created my spec file taking a cue from bacula-5.3 spec file. All works as intended, an rpm was created and installed without any not fixable issue. After installing my bacula rpm I run a test to see if all works as expected.
