If the reason you want that is so you can manipulate R data frames in SQL then the sqldf package does that. There are no create statements to issue and no insert statements to issue (although you can). The database is automatically created, the create and insert statements are automatically generated and executed, your SQL statement is run, the result is automatically retrieved and the database is automatically destroyed afterwards. You just specify a select or other sql statement with the data frame name(s) replacing the table name(s). It works with built-in data frames that ship with R and with data frames you create yourself. See http://sqldf.googlecode.com for more. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
