I am connecting to an Oracle database with RJDBC, and creating a data frame with dbGetQuery. When I get values return, values which are NULL in the database are being returned as 0 from my query. How can I have them returned as <NA>?
I am query like the following.
--
require(RJDBC)
drv <- JDBC("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver","/usr/local/ojdbc/ojdbc14.jar","'")
conn <- dbConnect(drv, "dbc:oracle:thin:@ADDRESS","user","pass")
results <- dbGetQuery("select rownum, col1 from table where col1 is null")
--
> results
ROWNUM COL1
1 1 0
2 2 0
3 3 0
4 4 0
5 5 0
I'd rather see:
> results
ROWNUM COL1
1 1 NA
2 2 NA
3 3 NA
4 4 NA
5 5 NA
