Nikolaus Pawlowski

Additional packages and database types

The listed packages are required for some functions of rocker.

RSQLite package

RSQLite package for handling of SQLite database connections. It is required for the setupSQLite() function of rocker class.

install.packages("RSQLite")

Setup database

Option 1

db <- rocker::newDB() # New database handling object
#> dctr | New object
db$setupSQLite( # Setup SQLite database
  dbname = ":memory:"
)
#> Dctr | Driver load RSQLite
db$unloadDriver() # Reset database handling object
#> dctr | Driver unload RSQLite

Option 2

db <- rocker::newDB() # New database handling object
#> dctr | New object
db$setupDriver( # Setup SQLite database
  drv = RSQLite::SQLite(),
  dbname = ":memory:"
)
#> Dctr | Driver load RSQLite
db$unloadDriver() # Reset database handling object
#> dctr | Driver unload RSQLite

RPostgres package

RPostgres package for handling of PostgreSQL database connections. It is required for the setupPostgreSQL() function of rocker class.

install.packages("RPostgres")

Setup database

Option 1

db <- rocker::newDB() # New database handling object
#> dctr | New object
db$setupPostgreSQL( # Setup PostgreSQL database
  host = "127.0.0.1", port = "5432", dbname = "mydb",
  user = "postgres", password = "password"
)
#> Dctr | Driver load RPostgres
db$unloadDriver() # Reset database handling object
#> dctr | Driver unload RPostgres

Option 2

db <- rocker::newDB() # New database handling object
#> dctr | New object
db$setupDriver( # Setup PostgreSQL database
  drv = RPostgres::Postgres(),
  host = "127.0.0.1", port = "5432", dbname = "mydb",
  user = "postgres", password = "password"
)
#> Dctr | Driver load RPostgres
db$unloadDriver() # Reset database handling object
#> dctr | Driver unload RPostgres

RMariaDB package

RMariaDB package for handling of MariaDB and MySQL database connections. It is required for the setupMariaDB() function of rocker class.

install.packages("RMariaDB")

Setup database

Option 1

db <- rocker::newDB() # New database handling object
#> dctr | New object
db$setupMariaDB( # Setup MariaDB database
  host = "127.0.0.1", port = "3306", dbname = "mydb",
  user = "root", password = "password"
)
#> Dctr | Driver load RMariaDB
db$unloadDriver() # Reset database handling object
#> dctr | Driver unload RMariaDB

Option 2

db <- rocker::newDB() # New database handling object
#> dctr | New object
db$setupDriver( # Setup MariaDB database
  drv = RMariaDB::MariaDB(),
  host = "127.0.0.1", port = "3306", dbname = "mydb",
  user = "root", password = "password"
)
#> Dctr | Driver load RMariaDB
db$unloadDriver() # Reset database handling object
#> dctr | Driver unload RMariaDB
