I've recently been through that with some success. I don't
remember all the details, but I first looked at "help(pac=RMySQL)".
This told me that the maintainer was Jeffrey Horner. Google told me
he was at Vanderbilt. Eventually I found
"http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL", which told me
that I needed to build the package myself so it matches your version
of MySQL, operating system, etc. I did that.
Does the MySQL database already exist? I created a MySQL
database and tables using MySQL server 5.1.50-win32. (Which version
of MySQL do you have?)
help('RMySQL-package') includes "A typical usage". That helped
me get started, except that I needed to write to that database, not
just query it. For this, I think I got something like the following
to work:
d <- dbReadTable(con, "WL")
dbWriteTable(con, "WL2", a.data.frame) ## table from a data.frame
dbWriteTable(con, "test2", "~/data/test2.csv") ## table from a file
Hope this helps.
