Hi, Thanks for your attentio.

I have the data frame below:
====
> head(Alldados)
  Station_NO       date1 T_2M TMAX_2M TMIN_2M TD_2M     PS FF_10M DD_10M
1     820420 110429/1200 22.5    NULL    22.4  22.2   NULL      0      0
2     820980 110429/1200 26.9    NULL    23.4  24.1 1010.2   2.91    360
3     821130 110429/1200 24.3    NULL    23.3  23.7   NULL   1.94    230
4     821410 110429/1200 24.4    NULL    23.7  24.2 1011.8   2.91    270
5     821450 110429/1200 28.2    NULL    21.1  25.8 1008.8      0      0
6     821810 110429/1200 23.3    NULL    22.8  22.9 1001.6      0      0
  TOT_PRCP CLCL      date2
1    84.00 NULL 2011042912
2     2.00 NULL 2011042912
3     3.00 NULL 2011042912
4    12.00 NULL 2011042912
5     6.00 NULL 2011042912
6    38.00 NULL 2011042912

Now each line will feed my database. So I need to format each line like
below:

===================================
 [1] "INSERT INTO OBS
(date,T_2M,TMAX_2M,TMIN_2M,TD_2M,PS,FF_10M,DD_10M,TOT_PRCP,CLCL,Station_NO)
VALUES (2011042912, 22.50,    NA, 22.40,22.20,   NA, 0.00, 0.00,36.00,
NA,820420)"
  [2] "INSERT INTO OBS
(date,T_2M,TMAX_2M,TMIN_2M,TD_2M,PS,FF_10M,DD_10M,TOT_PRCP,CLCL,Station_NO)
VALUES (2011042912, 26.90,    NA, 23.40,24.10,1010.20, 2.91,360.00,16.00,
NA,820980)"
  [3] "INSERT INTO OBS
(date,T_2M,TMAX_2M,TMIN_2M,TD_2M,PS,FF_10M,DD_10M,TOT_PRCP,CLCL,Station_NO)
VALUES (2011042912, 24.30,    NA, 23.30,23.70,   NA, 1.94,230.00,19.00,
NA,821130)"
  [4] "INSERT INTO OBS
(date,T_2M,TMAX_2M,TMIN_2M,TD_2M,PS,FF_10M,DD_10M,TOT_PRCP,CLCL,Station_NO)
VALUES (2011042912, 24.40,    NA, 23.70,24.20,1011.80, 2.91,270.00,12.00,
NA,821410)"
  [5] "INSERT INTO OBS
(date,T_2M,TMAX_2M,TMIN_2M,TD_2M,PS,FF_10M,DD_10M,TOT_PRCP,CLCL,Station_NO)
VALUES (2011042912, 28.20,    NA, 21.10,25.80,1008.80, 0.00, 0.00,31.00,
NA,821450)"
  [6] "INSERT INTO OBS

VALUES (2011042912, 23.30,    NA, 22.80,22.90,1001.60, 0.00, 0.00,24.00,
NA,821810)"
  [7] "INSERT INTO OBS
===============

I hope it helps.
