That seems to have worked, both in the new and old version of R. I'll do more unit testing on other files.

It may be that RSQLite 1.0 has changed the default for header in sqliteImportFile. Try replacing your statement that sets file.format with this: attr(dor, "file.format") <- list(sep = sepChar, header = FALSE) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
