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

Recently I had the same problem when using htmlTable() (‘htmlTable’ package) and I found a simpler solution: convert the data frame to a matrix with as.matrix():

htmlTable(as.matrix(df))

And be sure that the rownames are just indices. as.matrix() conservs the same columnames. That's it.

UPDATE

Following the comment of @DMR, I did't notice that htmlTable() has the parameter rnames = FALSE for cases like this. So a better answer would be:

htmlTable(df, rnames = FALSE)
