Dear useRs, I would like to access a remote Oracle database through R but I just cannot find sufficient online information to do so. As a result, I am wondering if you can provide me with a link to a document that details the steps I need to undertake to successfuly complete the task (e.g., packages that I need to install/look into, the set up of the cnf file for remote access, etc.). My system: Windows XP, R2.6.1 Investigated packages: DBI, RODBC Thank you so much.
