Someone solved the problem of saving R-objects to a database or can give me an answer like "this is not possible at the moment"? All my attempts runned into problems with conversion between blob, raw and character representations. Saving the R-object to a file and then getting it into the db leads to similar problems. Is saving to the file system the only practicable solution?
Look at the serialize function. You can serialize any R object which can be stored into the database of your choice. Give that a try and let us know with a code example if you have problems. Sean
In my special case I'm using a MySQL database with RMySQL package, but suggestions for other combinations are welcome. Greetings, Christian Ruckert
