How to use MySQL in R (statistic language) for Windows (7)?
There is no problems then using linux:
install.packages('RMySQL')
library(RMySQL)
...
But I found no such package for Windows on CRAN. There is only note about this fact.
I found package for version 2.10, but it is not usable in 2.12.1.
Also tried
install.packages("RMySQL", type="source")
but got an error :
* installing *source* package 'RMySQL' ...
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RMySQL'
* removing 'C:/.../R/win-library/2.12/RMySQL'
Is there any way to connect to MySQL database from R in windows?
Found solution with help of ran2, who gave me link to common question. The basic process is described here, but there are several hints, So I will describe the whole solution (please change the R version and paths if needed):
Install latest RTools from here
install MySQL or header and library files of mysql
create or edit file C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\etc\Renviron.site and add line like MYSQL_HOME=C:/mysql (path to your mysql files)
copy libmysql.lib from mysql/lib to mysql/lib/opt to meet dependencies.
copy libmysql.dll to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin or to windows/system32 directory.
run install.packages('RMySQL',type='source') and wait while compilation will end.
Thanks to all who tried to answer.
possible duplicate. However, my suggestions is to try WAMP which comes as a one click install. Admittedly you get more than you need (webserver) but the MySQL installation runs pretty well.
You need to install the MySQL headers and libraries, as explained in the installation instructions. Please do read the documentation before turning to SO.

I have a problem with Qt connecting with MySql, when i run this code
QSqlDatabase DBObject = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
DBObject.setHostName("localhost");
DBObject.setDatabaseName("SingleDB");
DBObject.setUserName("root");
DBObject.setPassword("abc123");
bool ok = DBObject.open();
and I got this... QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
I Have already done this also:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient
and
/home/wrm/Qt/5.12.3/gcc_64/bin/qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/local/include" "LIBS+=-L/usr/local/lib -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro
and here i have this error: Project ERROR: Library 'mysql' is not defined
Any idea?
Perhaps you need to install mysql-devel.
According to the Qt Docs QMYSQL for MySQL 4 and higher:
How to Build the QMYSQL Plugin on Unix and macOS
You need the MySQL header files, as well as the shared library libmysqlclient.so. Depending on your Linux distribution, you may need to install a package which is usually called "mysql-devel".
Google doesn't have a readily available answer, so answering this old question:
Aside from needing development files as pointed above (like apt install libmysqlclient-dev), you need to generate a config:
# Just for making my snippet work. Feel free to hardcode paths.
export QTDIR=/home/you/Qt/
export QTVERSION=5.9.5
cd $QTDIR/$QTVERSION/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers
$QTDIR/$QTVERSION/gcc_64/bin/qmake sqldrivers.pro
cd mysql
make
make install # if you want; it installs it in the bin dir of $QTVERSION
In the past, this was not necessary for Qt 5.5 (where I did this last time).
On a side note, there is no longer a special thread-safe version of libmysqlclient (libmysqlclient_r). It's just one one. Last time I ran into that link error, I just edited the generate Makefile to use the non-_r.
For 2 weeks I'm looking for a proper tutorial on how to fully install the library "lib_mysqludf_sys".
I got the .dll from a Russian site, because there seems to be no other for 64bit systems. I have successfully installed the procedure and also created the function, but whenever I want to call a file the whole database crashes. I conclude that the DLL file is faulty or that I forgot something to install.
can someone please explain to me how to use the UDF library to call files on a Windows Server 2016 64bit properly implied in the MySQL?
that would help me a lot, thank you!
Download the Windows 64 bit version from here:
https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/tree/master/data/exploits/mysql
Copy it to here or equivalent for your MySQL installation:
c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\lib\plugin\lib_mysqludf_sys_64.dll
Install and verify as per the instructions here:
https://osandamalith.com/2018/02/11/mysql-udf-exploitation/
Looks like you are using MySQL 57/earlier version. For the library, I suggest to control it with "dependency walker". See if there is any problem with dependency libraries. At lease KERNEL32.DLL and MSCVTR.DLL (Visual C++ Redistrubatable file) should be there without any warning on root level.
If you have the code, I suggest you to recompile it with mygwin64. There are many items needs to be fixed to compiled it. Following link is a good link for UDF DLL compiles
https://github.com/esabilbulbul/mysql-udf-windows
There something similar, follow my answer here

I'm trying to install MySQL in my CentOS 6.4 (X86_64) with the command:
"yum install mysql mysql-server"
And I'm having problems with the installation, the error presented is the following:
Check the error log in the following link http://pastie.org/10022423
Any Idea why this error ? thanks for you helps!
The problem is you already have a version of some MySQL packages installed that are from a different distribution/vendor than CentOS.
Since different people created the packages using different names and standards, yum does not know how to fix this situation.
You have libmysqlclient16-5.1.69-1.w6.x86_64 installed already providing the client libraries, but the CentOS package is mysql-libs. This package appears to be provided by "webtatic":
https://webtatic.com/packages/mysql55/
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/21966562/dir//com/libmysqlclient16-5.1.69-1.w6.x86_64.rpm.html
Likely you need to consider removing the libmysqlclient package and installing mysql-libs in it's place. That will probably remove some items because of dependencies, you might be able to get away with manually removing it with the rpm --nodeps -e, but it may also be the packages cannot have their dependency satisfied by mysql-libs so slightly risk move if you don't fully check everything first. This often works, though.
As an alternative looks like you can install the mysql server package from webtatic as well, based on their instructions here, that might be a less complex alternative if you are happy to continue relying on their repository:
https://webtatic.com/packages/mysql55/
As far that I know, that error will shows up when you attempt to install packages that already have been installed before. So, you probably should reinstall your mysql.

I want to connect to MySQL from SBCL using CLSQL. I loaded CLSQL using quicklisp (ql:quickload 'clsql). However, when calling (clsql:connect '(...) :database-type :mysql), it said:
Couldn't load foreign libraries "libmysqlclient", "libmysql". (searched CLSQL-SYS:FOREIGN-LIBRARY-SEARCH-PATHS).
I'm on CentOS, and basically what I want to do is
Install mysql client development headers with yum, so UFFI can find it (which I failed to do)
after installing, be able to connect to local MySQL server (I think after 1. is done, it could be working automatically).
I'm currently using:
CentOS 5.7 Final (32 bit)
SBCL 1.0.55
Quicklisp beta
yum repositories: base, epel, extras, updates
I didn't just ask about how to install MySQL development headers on CentOS, because that would solve only part of my problem, I would still need to know what's missing from my machine. I also didn't try to build libmysqlclient/libmysql from source, because I don't know whether clsql would be able then to find it or not. I think not.
I'm really sorry if my question somehow misses the point, but extensive googling didn't yield any results. If anyone told me they couldn't install mysql client development headers on CentOS, I would laugh at them and tell them to use yum search, but I couldn't find it neither with yum neither online.
I know the solution for ubuntu (and debian), because there is a cl-sql package and I can easily find mysql headers there too, but I need it on CentOS.
Thanks in advance.
Somehow, when you try something long enough, it will get done ;)
Here's what I did if anyone needs an answer and stumbles upon this question:
(ql:quickload 'clsql)
;tell clsql where to search for mysql libs
(push #P"/usr/lib/mysql" CLSQL-SYS:*FOREIGN-LIBRARY-SEARCH-PATHS*)
;add mysql libs to clsql library path [apparent from code :]
(clsql:push-library-path "/usr/lib/mysql/")
;directly tell uffi to load mysqlclient shared library
(uffi:load-foreign-library "/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so")
Of course, you can replace "/usr/lib/mysql" with a different path for mysql libraries, if needed.
I can't figure out why my RMySQL package won't install - here's what I get:
> install.packages('RMySQL',type='source')
trying URL 'http://cran.mirrors.hoobly.com/src/contrib/RMySQL_0.7-5.tar.gz'

Warning message:

I don't think it's a problem with the MySQL install, as the right values seem to be in the registry:

MYSQL_HOME "C:/PROGRA~1/MySQL/MYSQLS~1.1/"
> readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\MySQL AB", hive="HLM", maxdepth=2)

Puzzled. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The basic process is described here, but there are several hints, So I will describe the whole solution (please change the R version and paths if needed):

install MySQL or header and library files of mysql

This worked for me on Windows 7 64 bit, so there should be no problems with 32 bit versions
Initialy posted here (similar question).
First I would try following the directions on this page: http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL
Then, ensure that you actually have a MySQL client on your computer, not just the server itself. I've had a problem myself where I had to use an older binary for the client, but you can download these from mysql website.
I created a binary which might work for people:
http://kenahoo.blogspot.com/2011/09/rmysql-binary-for-windows-7.html
I basically followed all these directions, including the ones at the Vanderbilt page, but for one reason or another it doesn't always seem to work. Anyway, hope this might be helpful for people who have the same versions of stuff I used.
I was having this same problem on Windows 7 with R 2.12.1 x64 and resolved it by:
Changing the R directory in my PATH variable to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin\x64 (rather than just ...\R-2.12.1\bin).
Copying ...\MySQL Server 5.5\lib\libmysql.dll to ...\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\.
Running R CMD INSTALL RMySQL_0.7-5.tar.gz in cmd.exe (install.packages('RMySQL',type='source') in R still would not work).
I came across this step-by-step guide to install RMySQL under Windows7 64bit.
http://www.ahschulz.de/2013/07/23/installing-rmysql-under-windows/
The software I used are:
Windows 8 OS
R3.0.2 - 64bit
Rtools 3.1
MySQL Server Community Edition 5.6 - 64bit
Following the above guide (with screenshots provided), my installation and loading of the RMySQL package works.
Many thanks to Arne Hendrik Schulz!
As Marek said. There is no windows binary for this package. I had similar troubles on my Mac when I tried to install RPostgreSQL (because there's no binary for Mac) in the end I had to compile it on my own and modify several files.
For the MySQL part(if you don't know much about MySQL), you might want to use WAMP which is admittedly more than you need, but easy to install and to start and shut down.
For some compiling help you might be interested in Rtools
HTH
BTW: What kind of windows do you run (sry, if I missed it)
You however there is one additional requirement at present (with the MySQL server version 5.5 & R2.12.1) follow thehttp://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL instructions at present as the locations of the libmySQL.dll differs to what is expected in the package.
i.e. for the 64bit compiling.
it expects the libmySQL.dll to be in "${MYSQL_HOME}"/bin/libmySQL.dll
so simply copy the dll over to the /bin dir and it will now compile.
for the 32bit compilling.
the libmySQL.lib is expected in "${MYSQL_HOME}"/lib/opt/libmysql.lib
again moving this should solve the problem.
Alternatively, if you don't want to or can't move these files. Then you can edit the source code files:
Makevars.win
Makevars.win32
Makevars.win64
appropriately pointing to /lib/libmysql.dll /lib/libmysql.lib
Add MySQL and RTools directory to the PATH!
Here is my PATH ; ~blah~;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin;c:\rtools\bin;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;
I was working for last 2 days on Installation of R with RMySQL package, finally got the solution for that, here are the steps to install RMySQL package:-
DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE FROM THE FOLLOWING LINKS:
*a. R2.13.2: Download R from http://cran.stat.sfu.ca/index.html
b. RTools 214: Download RTools from http://cran.cict.fr
c. RMySQL 0.8-0.tar.gz: Download RMySQL from
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/main/RMySQL/RMySQL_0.8-0.tar.gz
d. MySQL Server 5.0: download it from http://dev.mysql.com
e. RSTUDIO (optional): download it from http://rstudio.org*
SET THE FOLLOWING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
* a. MYSQL_HOME : <drive>/path to MySQL installation folder
e.g. MYSQL_HOME= C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\
b. R_HOME: <drive>/path to R installation
e.g. R_HOME=C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\
c. PATH: Modify path to accommodate the above variables. *
Be sure that the following paths areincluded in your Windows PATH variable:
\Rtools\2.14\bin
\Rtools\2.14\MinGW\bin
\Rtools\2.14\MinGW64\bin
CREATE FOLDER AND COPY FILES
a. OPT: Create a folder OPT under C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\lib and copy
MYSQLLIB.LIB the above path. Also copy libmysql.dll to \\R\R-2.14.0\bin\ (64 bit) Or \\R\R-2.14.0\bin\i386\ (32 bit) and to C:\Windows\System32.
b. Renviron.site: create or edit a file \\R\R-2.14.0\etc\Renviron.site and add a
line: MYSQL_HOME =”C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5/”
NB: USE FORWARD SLASH AND DOUBLE QUOTES HERE
c. libMySQL.dll: Copy this file to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin\i386 as well as C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin
RUN COMMANDS
a. Install.Packages: Run R GUI by clicking on the R icon on desktop or from Start menu. Type
INSTALL.PACKAGES(“RMySQL”,type=”Sources”). This will download the required software from repositories.
b. Command Prompt: Copy the downloaded zip file (in step 4.a.) and paste it under R
installation folder. Go to start menu and open Command Prompt. Go to the R installation folder and type R CMD INSTALL RMySQL_0.8-0.tar.gz
*COMMANDS:
>library(RMySQL)
>drv = dbDriver("MySQL")
>con = dbConnect(drv,host="localhost",dbname="test",user="root",pass="root")
>album = dbGetQuery(con,statement="select * from t_master")
>album*
18 months later, new laptop, same problem. Returning to the scene of the crime - sorry January 2011 self; we're in the future, and this installation still isn't any fun.
Lessons learned:
-Updated RTools are essential. Get them.
-Are you seeing an error along the lines of .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'RMySQL', details? This seems to mean that there's a problem with your system environment variables.
In R, run
Sys.getenv('MYSQL_HOME')
If it spits back a path like
[1] "C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.6"
you're good. But if it gives you empty string, you need to set this.
These are all Windows 7 directions, but the process is pretty similar in XP, if memory serves.
1) Bring up System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables.
2) In the lower 'System Variables' pane, click 'New'.
3) Variable name is MYSQL_HOME and value is whatever the path is to your MySQL installation - mine was C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6
Newer versions of MySQL don't seem to create an environment variable on install - that and the lack of binaries for RMySQL explain why this questions has garnered 8,000 hits.
-Still stuck? Here are two additional in-depth writeups: 1, 2
Following worked for me in red hat linux
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/RMySQL_0.9-3.tar.gz
sudo R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-mysql-inc=/usr/include/mysql' --configure-args='--with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib64/mysql' RMySQL_0.9-3.tar.gz
