I cannot get a database connection in R to my MS SQL Server database. In S-Plus 6.2 I have used the following successfully: rawdata <- importData(type="DIRECT-SQL", user="xfl2", password="xfl2", server="rinnycs0059", database="xf", table="", sqlQuery="select * from testTbl") In R I have tried both DBI and RSQLite, but have not had any luck. It always says cannot find driver. All the examples use My SQL or some other program. I only have SQL Server by Microsoft. I know R might not have a native driver, but I have tried "ODBC", too, without luck. If anyone can give me an example and hints on finding the driver that would be great! Thanks.
