R help - Jan 2012 - R connect to Informix Database

Hi,

I am new to R and wondering if it is possible for it to connect to an
Informix database. I tried google but nothing came back that I could figure
out. 

Can somebody tell me if its possible (which I believe it is) and how to
connect to an Informix database using R.

Thanks!

If you can't get an answer here it may be worth posting to the R-SIG-DB list
in 24 hours or so. (special interest group for databases)

Data bases are not an area I know at all, but I think RODBC attempts to work
with a universal database standard so that might be worth exploring. But like I
said: just spitballing.

Best of luck,
Michael Weylandt
