The code below, which produces the error message and sessionInfo which follow, was working last week but now is not. I got into this because I am having trouble with the Category package and wanted to rebuild my build of ragene10stv1.db package that Category was depending on. This build, which had gone uneventfully last week, produced the error below. I moved both the rat.db0 and ragene10stv1.db packages outside of my site-library directory and reinstalled rat.db using biocLite, thinking that perhaps I wasn't supposed to be installing an AnnotationDbi package on top of an identical one. This didn't help so I provide below a truncated, example, which does require prior installation of AnnotationDbi and rat.db0.

Hi Mark, Quoting Mark Kimpel <mwkimpel at="" gmail.com="">: [...] > Error in sqliteExecStatement(con, statement, bind.data) : > RS-DBI driver: (error in statement: table metadata already exists) I guess the code you are running has been designed to generate an .sqlite file from scratch. So it probably assumes that you don't already have this file on disk. What happens is that, if this file doesn't exist, then dbConnect() (which is called internally by makeRATCHIP_DB()) will create it, otherwise it will open the existing one. If the existing file already contains the 'metadata' table (or any other table that makeRATCHIP_DB() needs to create) then you'll get an error like the one you got. In your case it looks like you already have an old .sqlite file that probably results from a previous attempt to run makeRATCHIP_DB(). Make sure you remove it (you'll need to figure out where it is) before you run makeRATCHIP_DB() again.
