An sqldf unit test that once worked that involves Date class with
MySQL is failing. I can reduce it to the following which does not
involve sqldf (assuming there exists a MySQL database called test).
Is this due to some change in RMySQL? DBI?
library(RMySQL)
t1 <- data.frame(d = as.Date("2001-01-30"))
con <- dbConnect("MySQL", "test")
dbWriteTable(con, "t1", t1, row.names = FALSE)
dbGetQuery(con, "describe t1")
which produces:
Field Type Null Key Default Extra
1 d text YES <NA>
but d should be of MySQL date type, not text.
