similar to: importing a VERY LARGE database from Microsoft SQL into R

I am running R 2.1.1 in a Windows XP environment. I wish to use the sqlSave command to export a dataframe into Microsoft SQL. My dataframe is called temp and has 2 ?columns?, ?monthenddate? and ?value?. Monthenddate is in 'POSIXct', format. (i.e. 'POSIXct', format: chr "1984-01-31" "1984-01-31" "1984-01-31" "1984-01-31" ...). How can I

Hi, I have a large table in Postgresql (result of an MCMC simulation, with 1 million rows) and I would like to retrive colums (correspond to variables) using RODBC. I have a column called "index" which is used to order rows. Unfortunately, sqlQuery can't return all the values from a column at once (RODBC complains about lack of memory). So I am using the following code:

Dear all, I've encountered a curious problem. I am trying to run an SQL query using sqlQuery() function in RODBC. The query works fine when run in a stand-alone SQL browser (Microsoft Query Analyzer, in particular). However, when I use the exact same thing from sqlQuery() function, I get the following error: Error in "[.data.frame"(data, , ) : not all specified columns exist

Dear R users, I am querying an Oracle database using sqlQuery() from the RODBC package. What I would like to do is embed my R Sql query in a for loop. For example suppose the data.frame "vessel" contains two columns: vessel[,1]= vessel id and vessel[,2]=permit year I am using "vessel" as an input in a SQL based function that require inputs of permit year and vessel id

Hi everyone, I am desperately looking for a method to interpolate strings within an SQL statement as follows: I get a lot of rows out of a database (in my example POSITION_to_ZIPCODE Database with holds records for German ZIP Code <--> Gauss-Krueger Coordinate System ) and want this to be selected and computed individually row by row as follows: library(RODBC) channel <-

Hi everyone, I am using the sqlQuery function (in RODBC library) to import data from a database into R. My table (called temp) in the database looks like this: category numabc 54469517.307692307692def 36428860.230769230769 I used the following R code to pull data into R:data <-sqlQuery(channel, "select category, num from temp;") However, the result is that "num" gets all its

I have a question for RODBC users out there. I have used the package with good results for some time. However, I have just switched from an OpenLink proprietary driver for MS SQL to the FreeTDS driver (I think it is MS SQL Server 2000 I'm connecting to if it matters). I was/am running them from unixODBC on a Linux Client. I think I have it set up fine since I can use "isql"

Hi, Does anyone know how to pass dynamic sql statement to RODBC function "odbcQuery()" or "sqlQuery()"? eg.: under R session, I did: >library(RODBC) >channel<-odbcConnect(...) >data1<-2.5 >data2<-5.0 I want to construct the INSERT sql statement using variables "data1" and "data2" and pass this statement to odbcQuery() . Can I do this?

This is the very last thing I need to make everything work properly. My query: sqlQuery(conn, "select to_char(lsd,'yyyy-mm') as yr,ttl_mo_prcp from mo_rains where stn_num=023000") Is there a way to may the stn_num in the query variable, ie make it so that whenever my script is run, the user must choose and input the station number?

Hi Friends, I am trying to import a table from SQL server to R(2.9.0), however i am getting errors while running the below codes. Can anyone identify and let me know where did i go wrong???

I have not devoted time to setting up ROracle since binaries are not available and it seems to require some effort to compile (see http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ROracle/index.html). On the other hand, RODBC worked more or less magically once I set up the data sources. What is your success using ROracle and why would it be preferable to RODBC ? -Avram On Thursday, September 11,

Large for loops are slow. Try to avoid them using apply, sapply, etc. I've made the paste statements a lot shorter by using collapse. See ?paste for more info. Append.SQL <- function(x, channel){ sql="INSERT INTO logger (time, v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, v7, v8, v9, v10) VALUES("d1=strptime(x[2],"%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S %p '", d1, "' ,", paste(x[3:12],

Hello My colleagues and I have recently established a large database (40 tables each with greater than 15 variables) in Microsoft's SQL Server 2000. Currently we are accessing this database via SQL client running an Windows XP. Our objectives are many fold including running SQL applications, outputting results to ARC/INFO IMS, production of summarizing tables - graphs and web interfaces for

Hello, I've got a problem in a sql query! for(j in 1:length(criteria$Title)) { graphe_par<-sqlQuery(channel,"select q.type,crit.Title, r.Value from criteria crit, reply r,question_reply qr, question q, question_criteria qc, form_question fq where qr.reply=r.ID and qr.question=q.ID and qc.question=q.ID and crit.ID=qc.criteria and fq.question=q.ID and fq.form=4 and

It seems that Access needs that you surround the dates with a # symbol. You probably need something like. res <- sqlQuery(channel, "select * from test_table where market = 'atl-bos' and competitor = 'delta' and dd = #2007-11-20#") Hope this helps, Stefano -----Messaggio originale----- Da: r-help-bounces at r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces at r-project.org]Per

Hi list, Is there a way to use sqlQuery function where there is a sql file (ie. sample.sql)? I just want to mention that in my sql file there are some comment lines (starting with --). This means that if I paste all the lines in the sql file, I'll come up with a long string that most part of it is commneted (after commnet sign --). thanks Arvin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I have imported xlsx file (Excel 2007) into R using the following scripts. *library(RODBC) * *setwd(".......") * *query <- odbcConnectExcel2007(xls.file = "GI 2010.xlsx", readOnly = TRUE) dat <- sqlQuery(query, "select * from [sheet1$]", as.is = TRUE, na.strings = "exp")* *dat* contain one column consisting of intergers and characters

Hello all, I am having trouble running a count function in R using RODBC to query a table I created in Oracle. It may very well be that my SQL coding is incorrect; I just started learning it. But if someone could point me in the right direction or tell me if I am going about this the correct way that would be greatly appreciated! The script I have right now is: >require(RODBC)

Hello R Experts, How can I assign the name of a data frame with the argument of a function? Specifically I am using RODBC to build local dataframes from SAS datasets on a remote server. I would like the local dataframe have the same name as the source SAS dataset, and the function below is what I am developing. However, the "substitute(table)" on the left side of the assignment
