I have some problems loading symbols from an mysql db using getSymbols. Instead of repeating the issue, here is a link to the description on stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29333330/quantmod-error-loading-symbols-from-mysql-db Any help is greatly appreciated
The "character" method for dbConnect was removed in the 0.10 release of RMySQL. I'm not sure whether or not this was intentional. It was not mentioned in the release notes.
It was removed intentionally. I do not have a MySQL database available for testing, so I would really appreciate some help from those who use this functionality. Can someone please try this suggested edit: https://github.com/rstats-db/RMySQL/issues/62#issuecomment-87692704 And provide feedback at: https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/45 Thanks!
