Dear R-Helpers:
I am trying filehash and would like to know whether I have to create a new
database to store results generated from another database.
Example code is presented below to show the question.
#R code below------------
library(filehash)
dbCreate("myDB1")
db1 <- dbInit("myDB1")
dbDelete(db1,"a")
dbInsert(db1, "a", data.frame(id=I(LETTERS[1:3])))
dbInsert(db1, "b", data.frame(id=I(LETTERS[2:3])))
#the following line does Not work, "a_and_b" will not created
dbInsert(db1,"a_and_b",merge(db1$a,db1$b,by='id'))
dbList(db1)
#however, a new database(db2) can store "a_and_b"
dbCreate("myDB2")
db2<-dbInit("myDB2")
dbInsert(db2,"a_and_b",merge(db1$a,db1$b,by='id'))
dbList(db2)
db2$a_and_b
#R code above ------------
Is it possible to make dbInsert(db1,"a_and_b",merge(db1$a,db1$b,by='id'))
work?
I am interested in avoiding creating db2.
Many thanks in advance!
