Hi,

I have finally made it working. I do not if that was the problem but
the libraries (DBI and RMySQL) were installed in a non-standard
location (of course specified in a .Renviron file). Reinstalling both of
them at R root did the trick...


thanks to you all for your help...

Stephane.

I followed your instruction. Here is my .my.cnf:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[client]
user=steff
password=XXXXXX
database=justforfun
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
with it, I can connect to my MYSQL server without problem
and then I try to connect through R:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
library(RMySQL)
Loading required package: DBI
m <- dbDriver("MySQL")
Error in new("MySQLDriver", Id = drvId) : unused argument(s) (Id ...)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It still produces the error. I really  do not  know what is going on
here...

Sorry - no idea. I guess you are using Linux? And all packages are up to
date?

Then you do:


library("RMySQL")
m <- dbDriver("MySQL")
con <- dbConnect(m, group = "renpatch")
q <- TheSQLQuery
rs <- dbSendQuery(con, q)
TheResults <- fetch(rs, n = -1)
dbDisconnect(con)
rm(con)


and it should work - at least that is what it is doing for me.
