Hi,

We are using open source license of R to analyze data at our organization. The 
system configuration are as follows:

*        System configuration:

o   Operating System - Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, 64 bit (Desktop)

o   RAM - 8 GB

o   Processor - i5-6500 @ 3.2 Ghz

*        R Version:

o   R Studio 1.0.136

o   R 3.4.0

While trying to merge two datasets we received the following resource error 
message on running the code
Code: merg_data <- 
merge(x=Data_1Junto30Jun,y=flight_code,by.x="EB_FLNO1",by.y="EB_FLNO1",all.x = 
TRUE)
Error Message: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 5.8 Gb

Later we tried running the code differently but error still remained
Code: merg_data <- sqldf("Select * from Data_1Junto30Jun as a inner join 
flight_code as b on a.EB_FLNO1=b.EB_FLNO1")
Error Message: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 200.0 Mb

We have upgraded the RAM to 8 GB couple of months back. Can you let us know 
options to resolve the above issue without having to increase the RAM? The size 
of the datasets are as follows:

*        Data_1Junto30Jun (513476 obs of 32 variables). Data size - 172033368 
bytes / 172 MB

*        flight_code (478105 obs of 2 variables). Data size - 3836304 bytes / 4 
MB


Help with determining system requirement:
Is there a way to determine minimum system requirement (hardware and software) 
depending on size of the data, the way the data is loaded into R (directly from 
server or in a flat file) and the type of analysis to be run?
We have not been able to get any specific information related to this and are 
estimating the requirements through a trial and error method. Any information 
on this front will be helpful.


Thanks,
