Hello ~ I'm recruiting for a hedge fund (type) business (based in London, England, UK) that are looking for good C++ programmers with preferably some experience in statistical modeling/programming/analysis. Perhaps you are a statistician, mathematician or physicist (for example) by background but a programmer by experience (or a graduate)? You should ideally also have scripting experience in one if not more languages such as R, Python, Perl etc. Experience with MySQL would be good but not mandatory but it is important you have experience of working in a Linux environment. There is much more to the job than just scripting and programming, potentially you could find yourself becoming actively involved in statistical side too of the business too. Working environment is in-formal (no-ties, smart/casual). To learn more please contact me using james<at>........ Kind regards, JAMES . . . . James Tobin

Hi, I'm running R 2.9x, MySQL 5.1x, and RMySQL 0.74x. I'm noticing that if I try to import more than 1 column of data using RMySQL R crashes. I suspect it could be due to the warnings I got about RMySQL being compiled under a different version of mysql than I am using. Does anyone have a work around for this? More specifically... This works: data=dbGetQuery(con,statement="select price from prices") This crashes R data=dbGetQuery(con,statement="select price, item from prices") Thanks, Ian
