MonetDB.R (version 2.0.0)

MonetDB.R: DBI database connector for MonetDB

Description

MonetDB.R creates a new DBI driver that can be used to connect and interact with MonetDB.

Usage

MonetDB.R ()

Arguments

Value

Returns a driver object that can be used in calls to dbConnect.

Details

The MonetDB.R function creates the R object which can be used to a call dbConnect which actually creates the connection. Since it has no parameters, it is most commonly used inline with the dbConnect call.

This package aims to provide a reasonably complete implementation of the DBI. A number of additional methods are provided: dbSendUpdate for database-altering statements, dbSendUpdateAsync for cleanup operations and monetdb.read.csv for database CSV import.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
library(DBI)
conn <- dbConnect(MonetDB.R::MonetDB(), dbname = "demo")
dbWriteTable(conn, "iris", iris)
dbListTables(conn)
dbGetQuery(conn, "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM iris")
d <- dbReadTable(conn, "iris")
# }
