Hi,
first of all: I am new to R. Anyway, I would like to include sql files in
my r-script, which I load via source("scriptname") in the CLI.
The sql files (i.e. "stmt.sql") contains select statements with joins, line
breaks, various characters, they can be quite long.
My question is, is there a way to include external sql files for further
processing? Or how can I include them. I tried it with source(), read.table
but I could get it to work.
SQL is a different language from R. You shouldn't expect source() to work.
You can process SQL using RODBC or various other database packages, e.g.
RSQLite. They send the SQL statements to a database for processing.
