DB Connectivity and Operations With R

This document summarizes how to connect R to a MySQL database. It outlines installing MySQL and MySQL Workbench, creating a database connection in R using RMySQL, executing SQL commands like CREATE DATABASE and CREATE TABLE in R to set up the database structure, and performing queries in R like INSERT, SELECT, and DROP TABLE. Key steps include establishing a connection from R to MySQL, sending queries to create and populate tables, and fetching results of queries back into R for analysis.

R and MySQL Database
#Import and attach package
– library(RMySQL)
#Establish Connection.
– mydb = dbConnect(MySQL(), user=‘user1',
password='password', host='localhost')
# creating a database using RMySQL in R
– dbSendQuery(mydb, "CREATE DATABASE
bookstore;")
#Use created DB
– dbSendQuery(mydb, "USE bookstore")
# reconnecting to database we just created using
following command in R :
-- mydb = dbConnect(MySQL(), user=user1',
password='password', host='localhost',
dbname="bookstore")
# Show table using R:
dbListTables(mydb)
# creating tables in bookstore:
– dbSendQuery(mydb, " CREATE TABLE books ( book_id INT,
title VARCHAR(50), author VARCHAR(50));")
# Alter Table
– dbSendQuery(mydb, "ALTER TABLE books CHANGE
COLUMN book_id book_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT
PRIMARY KEY, CHANGE COLUMN author author_id INT,
ADD COLUMN description TEXT, ADD COLUMN genre
ENUM('novel','poetry','drama', 'tutorials', 'text', 'other'),
ADD COLUMN publisher_id INT, ADD COLUMN pub_year
