Removing display of row names from data frame

Question

I am creating a dataframe using this code:

df <- data.frame(dbGetQuery(con, paste(\'select * from test\')))

Which results in this:

Answer 1

Yes I know it is over half a year later and a tad late, BUT

row.names(df) <- NULL

does work. For me at least :-)

And if you have important information in row.names like dates for example, what I do is just :

df$Dates <- as.Date(row.names(df))

This will add a new column on the end but if you want it at the beginning of your data frame

df <- df[,c(7,1,2,3,4,5,6,...)]

Hope this helps those from Google :)
