[R] Fwd: RE: Package sqldf in R and dates manipulation

[manginduvho]

Sent from Samsung tablet.


Dear all,
 
I recently read the book “ R data preperation and manipulation using sqldf package”  by Djoni Darmawikarta 
However, I have a problem with manipulation of dates using this package, I do not get the expected results. Do I need to install some packages  to be able to subset the data by dates in sqldf?
 
I am not getting Djoni Darmawikarta email address.
 
Please see the practice data attached and advise,
 
Kind regards,

product = read.csv('D:/Users/S1033067/Desktop/sqldf prac/sqlprac.csv', na.strings = '', header = T)
head(product)
library(sqldf)
sqldf()
 
# out-put
 
> sqldf("select * from product
