You are right, it was a mistake copying and pasting the code. There is no error message from R when I run con2. I get a Windows error message saying "R for windows terminal front-end has encountered a problem and need to close".
The error signature is: AppName: rterm.exe AppVer: 2.60.43063.0 ModName: msvcrt.dll ModVer: 7.0.2600.2180 Offset: 000378c0 Marc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zembower, Kevin Sent: 18 December 2007 18:18 To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] R brakes when submitting a query to MySQL Is it your use of 'con' rather than 'con2' in dbSendQuery? -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Moragues Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 1:14 PM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] R brakes when submitting a query to MySQL Hello, I would like to retrieve data stored in MySQL database, so I installed RMySQL package.
