Hi, I'm experimenting with using (R)SQLite to do data management. Here are
two little problems that I've encountered:
1. The presence of ',' in string values causes trouble since ',' is also the
delimiter used in the SQL statement.
2. A newline '\n' line attached to the last string value of each row.
Some examples:
> library (RSQLite)
Loading required package: DBI
> sqlite <- dbDriver ("SQLite")
> db <- dbConnect (sqlite, dbname = "test.dbms")
> data (barley)
> dbWriteTable (db, "barley", barley, overwrite = TRUE)
[1] TRUE
> barley[1:3,]
yield variety year site
1 27.00000 Manchuria 1931 University Farm
2 48.86667 Manchuria 1931 Waseca
3 27.43334 Manchuria 1931 Morris
> dbReadTable (db, "barley")[1:3,]
yield variety year__1 site
1 27.00000 Manchuria 1931 University Farm\n
2 48.86667 Manchuria 1931 Waseca\n
3 27.43334 Manchuria 1931 Morris\n
> barley$site <- as.character (barley$site)
> barley$site[1] <- "University, Farm"
> dbWriteTable (db, "barley", barley, overwrite = TRUE)
Error in sqliteWriteTable(conn, name, value, ...) :
RS-DBI driver: (RS_sqlite_import: /tmp/RtmpgSNaLn/rsdbi6a5d128c line 1
expected 5 columns of data but found 6)
I'm using RSQLite 0.4.0 with R 2.1.1 on Mac OS X.
Cheers,
Michael
