[R] Help: sqlSave Error

[Jeff Newmiller]

The error seems clear enough to me... sqlSave is trying to create the table but it already exists.

Some possible directions you could take:

1) Do your work on a particular instance of the table within a single transaction and rollback at the end.
2) Delete the table before you run sqlSave.
3) Explicitly create the table once and keep it, deleting data before re-using it, and use the append option.
4) Include a column that distinguishes between different blocks of data and keep all of the data you add to it.
