I would like to set up a Windows XP environment with R and MySQL. This set-up was recommended by a friend who uses this set up, but I have been unable to get RJDBC to work. I have installed all of the software today (June 2 2008), first deleting and then replacing old versions of software.
The error is as follows: Error in .jfindClass(as.character(driverClass)[1]) : class not found This error is produced after running the following code (): library(RJDBC) drv <- JDBC("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver", "/etc/jdbc/mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar", identifier.quote="`") This code was modified from code at www.rforge.net/RJDBC to include version 5.1.6 of the driver. Version 3.1.14 gave the same error. I think that R is having trouble finding the class (driver) in the .jar file even though I can see it using winzip. I have limited knowledge of R and Java, but use other programing languages for work. Thank you for your help. ========= Environment: ========= >From CRAN -R 2.7.0 Installed in R using the command "install.packages("RJDBC",dep=TRUE)" -RJDBC -DBI -rJava >From MySQL.com -mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar -MySQL 5.0.51b (win32) >From Java.com -Java 6 update 6 -- Daniel Montgomery [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
