sqldf

Basic Usage Examples

sqldf() from the package sqldf allows the use of SQLite queries to select and manipulate data in R. SQL queries are entered as character strings.

To select the first 10 rows of the "diamonds" dataset from the package ggplot2, for example:

data("diamonds")
head(diamonds)

To select the first 10 rows where for the color "E":

sqldf("select * from diamonds where color = 'E' limit 10")

Notice in the example above that quoted strings within the SQL query are quoted using '' if the overall query is quoted with "" (this also works in reverse).

Suppose that we wish to add a new column to count the number of Premium cut diamonds over 1 carat:

sqldf("select count(*) from diamonds where carat > 1 and color = 'E'")

  count(*)
1     1892

Results of created values can also be returned as new columns:

sqldf("select *, count(*) as cnt_big_E_colored_stones from diamonds where carat > 1 and color = 'E' group by clarity")

  carat       cut color clarity depth table price    x    y    z cnt_big_E_colored_stones

If one would be interested what is the max price of the diamond according to the cut:

sqldf("select cut,  max(price) from diamonds group by cut")

        cut max(price)
