Hello List, The previous post look massy. I repost my question. Sorry,
I need to generate summary report for many tables (>200 tables). For each table, I can use the script to generate report: res <- dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT * FROM BIODBX.MECCUNIQUE2") view(dfSummary(res), file = "W:/project/_Joe.B/MSSQL/try/summarytools.BIODBX.MECCUNIQUE2.html") rm(res) BIODBX.MECCUNIQUE2 is the name of table. I have all of tables' name in a data frame. So, I'm trying to write a function to do this: summ <- function(Tabname){ res <- dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT * FROM Tabname") view(dfSummary(res), file = "W:/project/_Joe.B/MSSQL/try/summarytools.Tabname.html") rm(res) } for (i in dbtable$Tot_table) { Tabname <- as.character(sqldf(sprintf("SELECT Tot_table FROM dbtable", i))) summ(Tabname) } 1. I created a function summ, the argument is Tabname. I put the Tabname in the function. I hope it can be replaced one by one 2. the table dbtable contents all tables' name (>200 rows), the field name is Tot_table 3. I want use "for" to establish a loop, which can automatic generate a summary report for each table but I got error message below: Error: nanodbc/nanodbc.cpp:1655: 42000: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'Tabname'.
