RMySQL (version 0.9-3)

make.db.names-methods: Make R/S-Plus identifiers into legal SQL identifiers

Description

These methods are straight-forward implementations of the corresponding generic functions.

References

The set of SQL keywords is stored in the character vector .SQL92Keywords and reflects the SQL ANSI/ISO standard as documented in "X/Open SQL and RDA", 1994, ISBN 1-872630-68-8. Users can easily override or update this vector.

MySQL does add some keywords to the SQL 92 standard, they are listed in the .MySQLKeywords object.

Examples

# This example shows how we could export a bunch of data.frames
# into tables on a remote database.

con <- dbConnect("MySQL", "user", "password")

export <- c("trantime.email", "trantime.print", "round.trip.time.email")
tabs <- make.db.names(export, unique = T, allow.keywords = T)

for(i in seq(along = export) )
   dbWriteTable(con, name = tabs[i],  get(export[i]))
