Hello, When I do: dbWriteTable(con, "r.BOD", cbind(row_names = rownames(BOD), BOD)) ...can I specify the data types such as varchar(12), float, double precision, etc. for each of the fields/columns? If not, what is the best way to create a table with specified field data types (with the RpgSQL package/R)?
dbWriteTable will set types based on the input data.frame classes but if you don't like them then you can use the sql create table statement to define a table layout and then use insert statements to insert the data.
