Thanks for the insights. Let me rephrase my question in a way that should work: is there a way to subset my comprehensive data frame ('chemdata') to select only those rows that have values for two different parameters (i.e., in the same column)? I suspect not. But, I can select from the database table on those criteria and read in a new R data frame.
