The package RMySQL is not available as a precompiled zip-archive. Update : This tutorial also works on Windows 8.1!Ĭonnecting R with MySQL can be somewhat difficult using Windows. Update : I slightly updated this tutorial based on the comments. Compiling under windows is no longer necessary.
They are offering a precompiled version of the package whcih can be installed unter windows by using install.packages(“RMySQL”).
Update : Hadley Wickham and Jeroen Ooms took over the development on RMySQL.
