Re: [R] Getting data from Table in RStudio

2014-07-02 Thread Shanae Clarke
This was very helpful. I think my problem is actually knowing which function to 
use when and where. 
This was a big help. Thank you again Dan.

By the way, if I am not asking too much could you recommend a technique that 
could be use to analyze a patterns, do a frequency count on recurring text or 
phrases. Basically Content Analysis. I was reading up on 
The help would be really appreciated.

 Subject: [R] Getting data from Table in RStudio
 
 Hello,
 
 I am new to R progaming and have just started using this program since
 last week. What i want to achieve is to use R to determine patterns in
 sales/ customer complaint etc. information located in a mysql database.
 I am not sure how to approach this or which technique i should use to
 do so. However, i had proceeded to add a dataset to RStudio using the
 following code:
 library(RODBC)
 dsn.name - MySQLlocal
 user.name - orange
 pwd - 
 ch - odbcConnect(dsn=dsn.name,uid=user.name,pwd = pwd)
 res - sqlFetch(ch, my_table_name)
 odbcQuery(ch, Select * from my_table_name)
 odbcClose(ch)
 
 When the code is run all that is returned is
  library (RODBC)
  dsn.name - MySQLlocal
   user.name - orange
  pwd - 
  ch - odbcConnect(dsn=dsn.name,uid=user.name,pwd = pwd)
  res - sqlFetch(ch, my_table_name)
  odbcQuery(ch, Select * from my_table_name)
  [1] 1
  odbcClose(ch)
 
 No other results.
 I was expecting to see the table values or some other data. Not that.
 Maybe I am misunderstanding the whole concept of how R works.
 If so could someone please help me to clarify what the problem is and
 perhaps point me to a tutorial or somewhere i can get a information and
 get a better understanding.
 
 Thank you. Your Help will be greatly appreciated.

1. For future reference, you should read the posting guide linked at the bottom 
of each email, and post only in plain text (no HTML).  

2. You should read the help files for each of the functions you are trying use.

3. Did you try to look at the object, res, that you created?  That should have 
contained the table that you fetched from the MySQL database.  You could have 
typed res and the table would have printed out.  You also could have used 
head(res) to look at the first few records, or used str(res) to examine the 
structure of res.

There is also an R-sig-DB list where you can get more specific help with 
database connectivity questions.

I haven't done much in this area, but you might take a look at the Task Views at

http://cran.r-project.org/

In particular, look at the Natural Language Processing task view.  It lists a 
number of packages that are useful for text mining using frequency counts and 
content analysis.  You might also google sentiment analysis.

Hope this is helpful,
