Hi all,

I have a huge dataset(5000k observations), which contains the daily sales
for each company.
If I want to find out the a company with unique company id number, which
function I should use that is more efficient, match or "=="?  For example,

use<-dataset[!is.na(match(dataset$companyID, 12345)),]
or
use<-dataset[dataset$companyID==12345,]

Thank you very much.
