I am using extensively intensively the RMySQL package on linux Mandrake
7.1.
I installed today the release 1.2.1 of R.

I got the following errors:
by loading the package the first time i got the followien error:
library(RMySQL)

The following objects(s) are masked from package:base:
close

and than:
Error in load.MySQLManager(max.con, fetch.default.rec, force.reload):
MySQL driver: (invalid MySQL manager object)

Sorry, for me it means only downgrade to R1.1.1,  and this makes me
really sad, becouse this new memmory allocation, hmmm.....

But maybe somebody could use this info.

THX
Eryk

That's not a problem (if it were it would be the package breaking R not
v.v.).

            

      
      
      
    

        
I have had it running on RH6.2 and on Windows (with a few changes) under
1.2.0, and 1.2.1 should be no different.

            

      
      
      
    

        
RODBC works well with MySQL, in my experience better than RMySQL.
