Dear R-users, I am working with a colleague on extracting and processing data from our Oracle database using R scripts. We performed some initial testing using functions available in the ROracle package. Overall, our tests were successful and encouraging. There are however a couple of questions/problems which I'd like to submit to your attentions: 1- the current version of ROracle appears to be pretty "old" (published in 2007-10-15), although it seems functional with the recent version of Oracle we are using to maintain our database. Is this package still maintained (and updated) or has it been replaced by another one? 2- when running scripts including several queries (mostly data extraction using dbSendQuery), only the ones following the opening of a new connection (with dbConnect) were successful. This led us to conclude that only one query could be send for each connection. Is this true or is there a way to send multiple queries using a single connection? Thank you in advance for your feedback Sebastien [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
