I am using R 2.8 and the latest versions of RMySQL on a Windows XP 64 bit machine. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to use dbWriteTable without inserting \r into my table. Consider the following code snippet, which is run after I connect to my database.
myDFOut = dbReadTable(conn, "myDF") print(myDFOut) myDFIn = data.frame(x=paste("x", 1:5, sep = ""), y = paste("y", 1:5, sep = "")) dbWriteTable(conn, name= "myDF", value = myDFIn, row.names=F, append =TRUE, eol = "\r\n" ) myDFOut = dbReadTable(conn, "myDF") print(myDFIn) print(myDFOut) I get the output: > myDFOut = dbReadTable(conn, "myDF") > print(myDFOut) data frame with 0 columns and 0 rows > myDFIn = data.frame(x=paste("x", 1:5, sep = ""), y = paste("y", 1:5, sep = "")) > dbWriteTable(conn, name= "myDF", value = myDFIn, row.names=F, append =TRUE, eol = "\r\n" ) [1] TRUE > myDFOut = dbReadTable(conn, "myDF") > print(myDFIn) x y 1 x1 y1 2 x2 y2 3 x3 y3 4 x4 y4 5 x5 y5 > print(myDFOut) x y 1 x1 y1\r 2 x2 y2\r 3 x3 y3\r 4 x4 y4\r 5 x5 y5\r Is there any way not to insert the "\r" in the database? I also get the same output, if I change the eol argument to "\n" in dbWriteTable, as in the following command. dbWriteTable(conn, name= "myDF", value = myDFIn, row.names=F, append =TRUE, eol = "\n" ) I have read previous discussion concerning SQLite, but I still can't figure out what to do. Thanks for your help.
