Hi Jeff & Steve, Thanks for your responses. After seven hours R/machine ran out of memory (and thus ended). Currently the machine has 4GB RAM. I'm looking to install more RAM tomorrow.
I will look into SQLLite3; thanks! I've read that SQL would be a great program for data of this size (read-in, manipulate), but I understand there is a hefty price tag (similar to the cost of SAS? [licensing]). At this time I'm looking for a low-cost solution, if possible. After this data event, a program like SQL would not be needed in the future; also, with these multiple data sets to synthesize, only a handful are of this size. Thanks & please lend any other advice! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Reading-in-9-6GB-DAT-File-OK-with-64-bit-R-tp4457220p4458042.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
