Hi group,
I try to write a frame to a table (RODBC). I use
colnames(temp6) <- c("ind_id","ser_id","period_id","year","calc","mean")
sqlSave(channel, temp6, tablename = "series_indices_test",append= TRUE, rownames=FALSE, verbose = FALSE, test = FALSE, nastring = -999999, fast = FALSE)
This is giving me an error:
Error in sqlSave(channel, temp6, tablename = "series_indices_test", append = TRUE, :
unable to append to table %sseries_indices_test
My table definition is:
ind_id smallint(3)
ser_id smallint(4)
period_id tinyint(2)
year smallint(4)
calc mediumint(6)
mean mediumint(6)
This error is related to the underscores I use in the table. Because, when I change the table definition to (removing underscores):
indid smallint(3)
serid smallint(4)
periodid tinyint(2)
year smallint(4)
calc mediumint(6)
mean mediumint(6)
and execute
colnames(temp6) <- c("indid","serid","periodid","year","calc","mean")
sqlSave(channel, temp6, tablename = "series_indices_test",append= TRUE, rownames=FALSE, verbose = FALSE, test = FALSE, nastring = -999999, fast = FALSE)
it goes well.
Not using the underscores is not really prefered, as this table with this underscores in the definition is used on a lot of places elsewhere. But if removing the underscores is the only solution, let me know as well.
Any clue?
Using R 1.9.0, RODBC-package 1.4.0 (underlying database MySQL 4.0.16-standard)
Thanks,
Maarten
