From Hannes.Muehleisen at cwi.nl Wed Feb 19 13:03:21 2014 From: Hannes.Muehleisen at cwi.nl (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Hannes_M=FChleisen?=) Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:03:21 +0100 Subject: [MonetDB.R] MonetDB.R 0.9 Message-ID: <53049D89.5020103@cwi.nl> Hello MonetDB.R users, I would like to announce that the new version of MonetDB.R (0.9) was just accepted to CRAN after various rounds of testing. The biggest change is that monet.frame has been moved to GitHub [1] and became a separate package. The idea here is that the base connector which provides SQL-level connectivity to MonetDB should be slowly approaching a stable status, while the features on top of that such as monet.frame and possibly soon dplyr are independent. Also, the overloading tricks that monet.frame pulls have been found to be breaking other people's code. There has also been a small change in dbWriteTable(), we now use the SQL type STRING (a.k.a. CLOB) for R string columns ("character"). The reason for this is that we cannot come up with a reasonable character limit for VARCHAR by reading the first few rows of a file. A new feature concerns those of you who use multiple databases managed by monetdbd, the MonetDB daemon. The available databases as well as their various properties can now be queried using the monetdbd.liststatus() function. Please note that you will have to configure monetdbd accordingly, see ?monetdbd.liststatus for details. Apart from this, there have been many bugfixes and small changes, thanks to all of you who reported bugs and helped fixing them.
