Me: Win XP 4 gig ram R 2.9.2
library(foreign) # to read/write SPSS files library(doBy) # for summaryBy library(RODBC) setwd("C:\\Documents and Settings\\............00909BR") gc() memory.limit(size=4000) ## PROBLEM: I have memory limit problems. R and otherwise. My dataframes for merging or subsetting are about 300k to 900k records. I've had errors such as vector size too large. gc() was done.....reset workspace, etc. This fails: y$pickseq<-with(y,ave(as.numeric(as.Date(timestamp)),id,FUN=seq)) Any clues? Is this 2.9.2? Skipping forward, should I download version R 2.8 or less? Thanks!
