Hadley,
Since you mentioned DBI 0.3 in a recent email, could I make a request to add a
dbSendUpdate() function to DBI, like the one in RJDBC?
require(RJDBC)
> find('dbSendQuery')
[1] "package:RJDBC" "package:DBI"
> find('dbSendUpdate')
[1] "package:RJDBC"
And from ?dbSendUpdate
'dbSendQuery' and 'dbSendUpdate' submit a SQL query to the
database. The difference between the two is only that
'dbSendUpdate' is used with DBML queries and thus doesn't return
any result set.
I would find this helpful, because I could then use scripts unmodified with
either ROracle or RJDBC.
(I suppose adding it to DBI would mean that the one in RJDBC would have to be
modified.)
I have:
Package Version
"DBI" "0.3.0"
Package Version
"RJDBC" "0.2-4"
Thanks
-Don
