Presumably this about RMySQL, and by 'database' you mean a MySQL database,
not e.g. a .rdb file?
R-sig-db would be a better list, but I think this is one of many aspects
of the DBI package that that not been updated to match improvements in R.

Someone solved the problem of saving R-objects to a database?
These are the two varaints I've tried so far without success:
1)
ser = rawToChar(serialize(obj, NULL, ascii=TRUE))
dbSendQuery(link, paste("insert into table values(1, '",ser,"')",sep=''))
This will not work, because rawToChar can give embedded nuls.
The field to save the object in the MySQL Database is of type text.
unser = dbGetQuery(link,"select * from table where id=1")
Warning message:
In mysqlFetch(res, n, ...) :
RS-DBI driver warning: (internal error: row 0 field 1 truncated)
2)
ser = serialize(obj, NULL)
dbSendQuery(link, paste("insert into table values(1, '",ser,"')",sep=''))
The field to save the object in the MySQL Database is of type blob.
result = dbGetQuery(link,"select * from table where id=1")
unser = unserialize(result[1,"object_column"], NULL)
DBI needs to convert blobs to raw not character.
Error in unserialize(result[1, "object_column"], NULL) : unknown input format
In addition: Warning message:
In unserialize(result[1, "object_column"], NULL) :
unserialize()from a character string is deprecated and will be withdrawn in
R 2.8.0
Any suggestion is welcome.
Best,
Christian
