I am trying to write an R data frame to a table in a db2 data base. Does anyone know what additional argument I supply to the function dbWriteTable
in order to specify the field types of the columns?
I found this similar question: RMySQL dbWriteTable with field.types, however, the solution doesn't seem to hold for db2.
Cheers
You can't supply fields types using dbWriteTable
. JDBC is designed to hold many data bases, so it has a minimal data types mapping :
integer --> INTEGER
numeric --> DOUBLE PRECISION
else --> VARCHAR(255)
You should create you table using some sql request.
