Here's my MYSQL setup for retrieving data:

library(RMySQL)
channel <- dbConnect(MySQL(), user="xxxxxx", password="xxxxxx", dbname="HistData", host="nomnom.cvgrllc.com") EDM1 = dbGetQuery(channel, paste("select Date, o, h, l, c, v, a from HistBondData Where Symbol = 'EDM1' AND a != 0 ORDER BY Date ASC"))

Another poster posted something for ODBC which works well for MSSQL servers (and could work for mysql, if you have a odbc dsn setup to work with mysql)

HTH...

-c

With good and faithful python remote database queries look something
like this:

url.urlopen("username/pssw...@host",query)

where query is something like "select * from table where ...."

Does R support queries on remote hosts with username and password?

What does a simple example look like?

Thank you.
