Hey all!
I am trying to select a bunch of id's (data type -character) from a table
and store them in a variable in R
But when i do this, it automatically truncates the leading zero's in id's
even though they are of character type.
code is :-
>myconn<-odbcConnect("testdata")
>sql.select<-paste("select UNIT_ID from UNITS where (UNIT_TYPE='",unit,"'
and COMMUNITY='",property,"')",sep="")
> unit_ids<-sqlQuery(myconn,sql.select)
>print(unit_ids)
is there anyway i can retain the UNIT_ID's as they are.
Thanks!
