Hi,
i am trying to connect to a DB2 server using the DBI library.
getData <- function()
{
driver <- dbDriver("DB2")
conn <-
dbConnect(driver,"server","uname","pword")
data <- dbSendquery(conn, "select etc.")
}
When I run the function, i get the error
> data <- getData()
Error in do.call(as.character(drvName), list(...)) :
could not find function "DB2"
Can anyone help me here?
Thank you
Zava

For that you need a driver package, currently available for MySQL, ORACLE and SQLite (only, AFAIK). There are ODBC drivers for DB2 (on several platforms) so perhaps you could use RODBC: perhaps also RJDBC.> getData <- function() > > { > > driver <- dbDriver("DB2") > > conn <- dbConnect(driver,"server","uname","pword") > > data <- dbSendquery(conn, "select etc.") > > } > > > > When I run the function, i get the error > > > >> data <- getData() > Error in do.call(as.character(drvName), list(...)) : > could not find function "DB2" > > > > > Can anyone help me here? > > Thank you > > Zava > -------------------------------------------------------- > > This is not an offer (or solicitation of an offer) to buy/se...{{dropped}} > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >-- Brian D.
