将新列添加到MonetDBLite表

Question

我正在尝试使用R + MonetDB作为大数据分析堆栈,但是在创建新列并使用我的分析数据填充它时遇到了问题.这是一个玩具示例:

library(MonetDBLite)
library(DBI)

data(mtcars)
db <- dbConnect(MonetDB.R::MonetDB(), embedded="./test.db")

# load mtcars into the database
dbWriteTable(conn=db, value = mtcars, name = "mtcars", overwrite=TRUE)

## Add a new column
dbSendQuery(db, "ALTER TABLE mtcars ADD v1 DOUBLE;")


## insert data into the new column
v1 <- mtcars["mpg"] * pi
dbSendQuery(db, "INSERT INTO mtcars (v1) VALUES (?)", bind.data=v1)

并且错误消息:

Error in .local(conn, statement, ...) : 
  Unable to execute statement 'INSERT INTO mtcars (v1) VALUES ('c(65.9734457253857, 65.9734457253857, 71.6283125018473, 67.23008278...'.

].
In addition: Warning message:
In if (is.na(value)) statement <- sub("?", "NULL", statement, fixed = TRUE) else if (valueClass %in%  :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used

从这个错误我推测可能bind.data不能用MonetDBLite？

题:

如何将列添加到MonetDBLite表并使用来自R会话的数据填充它？

Answer 1

首先，最后一个语句中的“INSERT”命令不正确。您将需要“更新”语句。

话虽这么说，我提出了一个解决方案，您可以直接从 R 填充 MonetDBLite 表：

library(MonetDBLite)
library(DBI)

data(mtcars)
db <- dbConnect(MonetDB(), embedded="./test.db")

# I added a rownbr to the dataset so it will be easier later
mtcars$rownbr <- 1:nrow(mtcars)

# load mtcars into the database
dbWriteTable(conn=db, value = mtcars, name = "mtcars", overwrite=TRUE)

## Add a new column
dbSendQuery(db, "ALTER TABLE mtcars ADD v1 DOUBLE;")


## insert data into the new column
v1 <- mtcars["mpg"] * pi

for (i in 1:nrow(mtcars)){
   myquery <- paste0("UPDATE mtcars SET v1 = ",v1$mpg[i], "where rownbr =",i," ;")
   dbSendQuery(db, myquery )
}
