[R] RODBC --How do you set up the connection so pwd is blank but driver-specific data source dialog box pops up after
Hello,
I want to leave pwd blank (to comply w/ company security protocol) and just be
prompted by the driver-specific data source dialog box to enter the password
after. But for some reason it is not working.
R Version: "R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22)"
R Studio Version: 0.97.312
OS: Windows 7
library(RODBC)
##HERE IS THE CODE THAT DOES WORK
##my DSN, UID, PWD is entered something like this
ch <- odbcConnect("jjprd", uid = "lopez123", pwd =
"123456")
##I then successfully run a query
sqlQuery(ch,"SELECT Count(*) FROM PS_EXIT_SURVEY_LL")
#BUT WHEN I TRY TO LEAVE pwd BLANK THIS HAPPENS:
ch <- odbcConnect("jjprd", uid = "lopez123")
Warning messages:
1: In odbcDriverConnect("DSN=jjprd;UID=lopez123") :
[RODBC] ERROR: state 28000, code 768, message [Microsoft][ODBC driver for
Oracle][Oracle]ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
2: In odbcDriverConnect("DSN=jjprd;UID=lopez123") : ODBC connection
failed
#I read the vignette and on page 3 its says that if you leave password blank
then a driver-specific Data Source dialog box will pop up to allow it to be
completed. This is the way it works in MS Access or TOAD (SQL editor) for
example. But it's not popping up? What am I missing?

The password window popup apparently doesn't yet work with RStudio:
