Introduction to Importing Data in R

1

Importing data from databases (Part 1)

Many companies store their information in relational databases. The R community has also developed R packages to get data from these architectures. You'll learn how to connect to a database and how to retrieve data from it.

Connect to a database

Establish a connection

Inspect the connection

Import table data

List the database tables

Import users

Import all tables

How do the tables relate?

Importing data from databases (Part 2)

Importing an entire table from a database while you might only need a tiny bit of information seems like a lot of unncessary work. In this chapter, you'll learn about SQL queries, which will help you make things more efficient by performing some computations on the database side.

Importing data from the web (Part 1)

More and more of the information that data scientists are using resides on the web. Importing this data into R requires an understanding of the protocols used on the web. In this chapter, you'll get a crash course in HTTP and learn to perform your own HTTP requests from inside R.
