I am trying to query data from Hive service and create a variable.
dbGetQuery(hivecon,"select date1, date2 from dateTable limit 10") date1, date2, Diif 4/5/1999, 6/14/2000 7/2/1999, 6/26/2000 8/14/1999, 8/19/2000 11/10/1999, 9/18/2000 8/25/2000, 6/5/2001 3/14/2012, 3/15/2004 Here is what I wanted to do. While I am querying I want create a variable diff= dat1e1-date2. I may use this variable "diff" to do some statistics (mean, mode, etc) and also in the where clause l like as the following. test_date=dbGetQuery(hivecon,"select date1, date2 from dateTable where diff gt 1000 limit 10") I would appreciate if you suggest me how to do this. Here is the sample of the data and result date1, date2, Diif 4/5/1999, 6/14/2000, -436 7/2/1999, 6/26/2000, -360 8/14/1999, 8/19/2000, -371 11/10/1999, 9/18/2000, -313 8/25/2000, 6/5/2001, -284 3/14/2012, 3/15/2004, 2921 Thank you in advance ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
