Assuming that this is a question about sqldf see these links. The first has an example of update and the second discusses connections that persist across sqldf commands: http://code.google.com/p/sqldf/#8._Why_am_I_having_problems_with_update? http://code.google.com/p/sqldf/#Example_10._Persistent_Connections You may also wish to use the RSQLite package directly. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
