我正在尝试连接或绑定 12 年的调查数据,每个数据都有几百万个观察值和一百个左右的变量,以便在分析调查结构的同时分析年度趋势。最近发布的 MonetDBLite for R 似乎是为这个大型数据集实现基于列的 DBMS 的绝佳机会。但是,我在组合数据集时遇到了困难。
简而言之,使用 plyr::r.bind.fill 到 DBI:dbWriteTable 返回一个截断的表。r.bind.fill 是理想的,因为数据集的变量每年都不同。使用 dplyr::rbind_all 似乎根本不起作用。一种不太有用的方法(但仍然可以接受)包括删除列以使表相同并使用直接的 UNION ALL SQL 操作。但这会返回语法错误。
我对 dplyr 和 MonetDB 很陌生,所以这肯定是由于我自己的无知,但是我花了几天时间在网上搜索,但没有运气,所以任何帮助都将不胜感激。
以下是一个可重现的示例。
干杯
