Hi all,

I have a question regarding the memory usage for the attach function. Say I have a data.frame inputdat that I create with read.csv.

I would like to know what happens on the memory side when I use
attach(inputdata)

Is there a second allocation of memory for inputdata?

Then I'm using eval on a expression which depends on the columns of inputdata. Is it better not to use attach function?

Thanks in advance

Christophe
