I guess you are using package RSQLite without telling us (or telling us the version), and that your example is incomplete?

Using RSiteSearch("RSQLite Windows") quickly shows that this is a previously reported problem with the package, e.g.:

http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/72515.html

I believe the issue is that RSQLite actually writes out a CRLF-terminated text file and imports that into SQLite. (I checked version 0.4-15.) It seems function safe.write() needs to be modified to write to a binary-mode connection since SQLite appears to require LF-terminated files.

Using RODBC to work with SQLite databases works correctly even under
Windows (and is much more efficient at writing to the database).

[I am not sure who is actually maintaining RSQLite, so am Cc: both the stated maintainer and the person who prepared the package for distribution. The posting guide asked you to contact the maintainer: what response did _you_ get?]

Hi,

I put the iris data into a SQLite database with

dbWriteTable(con, "iris", iris, row.names=F, overwrite = T)

Then I retrieve data from the database with

rs  <- dbSendQuery(con, "select * from iris")
d1  <- fetch(rs)
dbClearResult(rs)

Then I get
head(d1)
 Sepal_Length Sepal_Width Petal_Length Petal_Width  Species
1          5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2 setosa\r

4          4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2 setosa\r
5          5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2 setosa\r
6          5.4         3.9          1.7         0.4 setosa\r

Can anyone explain the extra "\r" at the end?  I am on Windows XP using R 2.4.1
Thanks in advance
Søren
