Writing the data frame to MySql DB table

Question

How to write the data frame in R into MySQL?

dateTime            host    authId     sessionId      status                    action         


        

Answer 1

Use the dbWriteTable function. It looks like this :

dbWriteTable(connection, value = data.frame, name = "MyTable", append = TRUE ) 

The function is well documented.

P.S Also look at: RMySQL dbWriteTable with field.types

Answer 2

See help(dbSendQuery) for generic update ... statements in SQL, and help(dbWriteTable) to write an entire data frame to a new table.

Answer 3

It worked for me using the command below. Note that this will append the rows in yourtable to the database named yourTableInMySQL.

library(RMySQL)
dbWriteTable(con, "yourTableinMySQL", yourtable, append = TRUE)
