R and MySQL Database
#Import and attach package
– library(RMySQL)
#Establish Connection.
– mydb = dbConnect(MySQL(), user=‘user1',
password='password', host='localhost')
# creating a database using RMySQL in R
– dbSendQuery(mydb, "CREATE DATABASE
bookstore;")
#Use created DB
– dbSendQuery(mydb, "USE bookstore")
# reconnecting to database we just created using
following command in R :
-- mydb = dbConnect(MySQL(), user=user1',
password='password', host='localhost',
dbname="bookstore")
# Show table using R:
dbListTables(mydb)
# creating tables in bookstore:
– dbSendQuery(mydb, " CREATE TABLE books ( book_id INT,
title VARCHAR(50), author VARCHAR(50));")
# Alter Table
– dbSendQuery(mydb, "ALTER TABLE books CHANGE
COLUMN book_id book_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT
PRIMARY KEY, CHANGE COLUMN author author_id INT,
ADD COLUMN description TEXT, ADD COLUMN genre
ENUM('novel','poetry','drama', 'tutorials', 'text', 'other'),
ADD COLUMN publisher_id INT, ADD COLUMN pub_year

– dbSendQuery(mydb, "INSERT INTO books (title, author_id,
isbn, genre, pub_year) VALUES('R and MySQL', 1,'6900690
# fetching last data insert id number:
-- last_id = fetch(dbSendQuery(mydb, "SELECT
LAST_INSERT_ID();"))075','tutorials','2014');")
-- try1 = fetch(dbSendQuery(mydb, "SELECT book_id, title,
description FROM books WHERE genre = 'tutorials';"))
