Hi, here are some solutions:
DF <- read.table(textConnection(" A B C 1 1 3 1 1 4 1 1 5 1 2 6 1 2 7 1 3 8 "), header=TRUE) #using sqldf package library(sqldf) sqldf("select A, B, count(*) from DF group by A, B order by count(*) desc") #using function table as.data.frame(table(DF$A, DF$B)) As you can see, you can use sqldf package for performing sql queries on R data frames.
