[R] Creating a data table (frame?) from a SQL Statement?

[Morkus]

Hello,

I'm new to R so this is probably a simple question for somebody.

I have an RScript that reads a CSV on the disk using read.table(...). It then does a boxM test using that data.

However, I'm now trying to load the same data via an SQL command, but I can't seem to get the data structure defined so R will like it -- using the included "iris" dataset.

I've tried these ways of loading the SQL statement into a compatible R Structure:

irisQuery <- data(dbGetQuery(conn, "select * from iris"))

irisQuery <- data.frame(dbGetQuery(conn, "select * from iris"))

irisQuery <- table(dbGetQuery(conn, "select * from iris"))

.
.
.
Followed by:

boxM(irisQuery[,-5], irisQuery[,5])

Nothing works work.

For example, if i use ...

irisQuery <- data.frame(dbGetQuery(conn, "select * from iris"))

I get this error from R on the boxM test:  Error: is.numeric(x) || is.logical(x) is not TRUE

The SQL Statement is returning results, but their not CSV. Not sure if that matters.
-------------------

So, how do I read a SQL statement into an R structure like I read the CSV using "read.table" so the boxM test will work?

Thanks very much in advance.

- M
