sql command in SparkR

Hi,

 

I'm following along with the SparkR demo for Fabric notebooks that's on the microsoft website here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-science/r-use-sparkr

However, when I try to run any of the sql commands in a cell, instead of actually processing the command my notebook seems to just print out the SQL statement. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Cheers,

Have since seen it's beecause I had loaded tidyverse in that notebook to work on some R stuff, and dplyr's sql() command seems to mask SparkR's. Think that's why it wasn't executing it on my spark dataframe.

Hi @bosho,

 

Did you use the SQL command like this:

sqlquery <- sql("SELECT * FROM TABLE")

Thanks for the quick responses. Yes trying it again today I don't seem to be able to replicate the issue, and I see what you're seeing. Previously it was just printing the SQL code back but today I'm getting what you're getting.
