README
## NOTE
This package is no longer being maintained. RStudio has added support for Snowflake in their odbc and dplyr packages.
# dplyr.snowflakedb
This R package extends [`dplyr`](https://github.com/hadley/dplyr) to add backend support for [SnowflakeDB](https://snowflake.net). More details on `dplyr` can be found in the [README](https://github.com/hadley/dplyr/blob/master/README.md) page for the project.
## R Environment Setup
The `dplyr.snowflakedb` connectivity to SnowflakeDB uses the `RJDBC` package, however, the `rJava` package needs to be installed and working with Java 8 to support the SnowflakeDB JDBC requirements. This may require:
* installing Java 8
* running `R CMD javareconf` so R uses the Java 8 for its `JAVA_HOME`
* installing `rJava` from source so it can be linked against Java 8
If you are using R on Mac OS X, please see [this wiki page](https://github.com/snowflakedb/dplyr-snowflakedb/wiki/Configuring-R-rJava-RJDBC-on-Mac-OS-X) for the necessary installation steps for `rJava`.
Once you have `rJava` installed and verified it is using Java 8, you can install `dplyr` and dependancies.
```R
install.packages(c("RJDBC", "DBI", "dplyr"))
```
If you'd like some data to experiment with I'd recommend installing the following packages that most of the `dplyr` examples and vignettes use.
```R
install.packages(c("nycflights13", "Lahman"))
```
## Installing dplyr.snowflakedb
```R
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("snowflakedb/dplyr-snowflakedb")
```
## Example SnowflakeDB Connection
```R
library(dplyr)
library(dplyr.snowflakedb)
options(dplyr.jdbc.classpath = "/home/snowman/Downloads/snowflake_jdbc.jar")
my_db <- src_snowflakedb(user = "snowman",
password = "letitsnow",
account = "acme",
opts = list(warehouse = "mywh",
db = "mydb",
schema = "public"))
```
