Big databases
1. Read the R Data Import/Export manual. 2. Check the R-help archive, as this question has been asked and answered many times. Andy
From: Kenneth Cabrera Hi R users: I am using R 2.01. over a LINUX(Scientific Linux CERN) platform and I got the following problem: It takes too much time (more than 6 hours, because I stop the process) to read a 270MB database. I am using read.table() function. Is there any workaround to read faster a big data base? Thank you for your help. Kenneth
