Writing SQL Query in R tool

I am trying to run a sql query in the R tool.

But i get this error:

Info: R (6):   no such table: XXXXXXXXX

 

My code in the R tool is:

library(sqldf)

the.data <- read.Alteryx("#1", mode="data.frame")

the.data1 <- sqldf("Select * From RMS.RMS_DXH_LATRON_DATA" )

write.Alteryx(the.data1, 1)

 

How do i execute sql queries in the R tool?

Hi @oonwuka,

 

Thanks for posting this question!

 

Honestly, I am not sure of the benefits of using sqldf inside R tool instead of Alteryx tools (select, filter, join, etc.)... but please find an example below:

In your code, you don't seem to connect sqldf query to the data loaded in the R tool (RMS.RMS_DXH_LATRON_DATA is not defined).

 

Thanks,

It works...thanks

 

I needed to prove to our scientist that their native R scripts can be run (with as little modification as possible) in the R-tool
