SELECT from data frame that includes columns of type ipaddress

[nhi-vanye]

I have a data frame that includes a column of type ipaddress.

When I run a query (count(name) of character type) that does not need to read the ipaddress column I still get an error

Error: Parameter 10 does not have length 432162.

I've worked around it by removing the column from the data table and will add it back in after the sqldf results, but thats's annoying for every query...

Any options ?
