[R] loop for a large database

Yes, I am a newbie.

I have a data.frame (MyTable) of  1445846  rows and  15  columns with
character data.
And a character vector (MyVector) of 473491 elements.

I want simply to get a data.frame with the count of how many times each
element of MyVector appears in MyTable.

I've tried a loop with : for (i in 1 : length (myvector))  sum (MyTable== i)

but it crashes my computer.

I've also tried something like   

x <- 1 : length (MyVector)
apply (MyTable , 1 , function(x) {sum (MyTable ==x)}

but doesn't work.
Any idea?

Thank you. AAAAAny suggestion is super welcome.

Marianna
