Hello,
I have stored R objects as hexadecimals in a mysql database, I then usually
transform them to binary and then save it into a file. E.g.
hex <- getBlob #gets blob from database as hexadecimal
binary <- transformToBinary(hex) #moves from hex to binary
I would usually save them into a file as follows:
writeBin(object=binary,con="fileName.txt")
Then eventually if I want to use it in R I just load it:
load("fileName.txt")
However, how can I go from the binary directly into an Robject without writing
it to a file?
say:
myObject <- unknownFunction(binary)
I hope this is enough detail. Any help appreciated.
In retrospect, I could have probably used serialize/unserialize and store a
serialize string in mysql and unserialize when needed ( or write to a file if
necessary), but I didn't know of those when I did this.
Thanks in advance,
Ramiro
