I am running a script that stores different datasets to a MySQL database. This works so far, but only sequentially. e.g.:
# write table1
replaceTable(con,tbl="table1",dframe=dframe1)
# write table2
replaceTable(con,tbl="table2",dframe=dframe2)
If I select both (I use StatET / Eclipse) and run the selection, I get an error:
Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) :
unable to find an inherited method for function "dbWriteTable",
for signature "MySQLConnection", "开发者_JAVA百科data.frame", "data.frame".
I guess this has to do with the fact that my con is still busy or so when the second request is started. When I run the script line after line it just works fine. Hence I wonder, how can I tell R to wait til the first request is ready and then go ahead ? How can I make R scripts interactive (just console like plot examples - no tcl/tk).
EDIT:
require(RMySQL)
replaceTable <- function(con,tbl,dframe){
if(dbExistsTable(con,tbl)){
dbRemoveTable(con,tbl)
dbWriteTable(con,tbl,dframe)
cat("Existing database table updated / overwritten.")
}
else {
dbWriteTable(con,tbl,dframe)
cat("New database table created")
}
}
dbWriteTable
has two important arguments:
overwrite: a logical specifying whether to overwrite an existing table
or not. Its default is ‘FALSE’.
append: a logical specifying whether to append to an existing table
in the DBMS. Its default is ‘FALSE’.
For past project I have successfully achieve appending, overwriting, creating, ... of tables with proper combinations of these.
