to what I could be doing wrong.
ds_summary(con, test, vars=c(Age), y=c(Class))
Error in postgresqlNewConnection(drv, ...) :
RS-DBI driver: (could not connect postgres@localhost on dbname test
)
con is the connection
It would be helpful to see the assignment to con as well as any other
assignments related to this. If you are using the DBI package, then what I
am talking about would be something like:
drv-dbDriver(PgSQL)
con-dbConnect(drb,user=...,password=...,dbname=test');
From looking at the message, it appears to me that you are trying to
connect to PostgreSQL as the postgres user. That just seems wrong to me.
Normally that user is only for administration purposes. It does not
normally contain user tables such as test. I would think that what you
needed would be your PostgreSQL user id. Or the id of the owner of the
test table.
test is the database table
age is the attribute that will be summarized
class is the response variable
Can anyone help?
