A package to interact with SciDB, a database that organizes data in n-dimensional arrays. SciDB arrays consist of a coordinate system whose coordinates are called dimensions, and one or more values at each coordinate called attributes. SciDB database features include ACID transactions, parallel processing, distributed storage, and efficient sparse array storage. This R package enables running of SciDB queries using native array functional language (AFL) and optionally returning results as data frames.

Package options

 options(scidb.prefix=NULL)

# Default shim port and host.

 options(scidb.default_shim_port=8080L)

 options(scidb.default_shim_host="localhost")

# Disable SSL certificate host name checking by default. This is important mostly
# for Amazon EC2 where hostnames rarely match their DNS names. If you enable this
# then the shim SSL certificate CN entry *must* match the server host name for the
# encrypted session to work. Set this TRUE for stronger security (help avoid MTM)
# in SSL connections.

 options(scidb.verifyhost=FALSE)

# List of special DDL operators

 options(scidb.ddl=c("create_array", "remove", "rename"))
