Dear r-helpers! I have trouble reading data from an Oracle data base using RODBC Version 1.0-3, R Version 1.7.1, Windows XP, Oracle8 ODBC Driver Version 8.1.6.4.0: > library(RODBC) > channel <- odbcConnect(dsn="PAV32", case="oracle", believeNRows=FALSE) > # ok, this was succesful > x <- sqlTables(channel) > x[37, ] TABLE_CAT TABLE_SCHEM TABLE_NAME

Hi List, I used to access a Paradox database using RODBC, but since last week I am not able anymore to fetch any table which has a name longer than 11 or 12 characters. Here is the the pattern of my code, nothing spectacular: library(RODBC) channel2<-odbcDriverConnect('DSN=xxx') #table names with up to 11 characters still work sqlFetch(channel2, 'abcdefghijk') #table names

Greetings - After 20+ years of using SAS, for a variety of reasons, I'm using [R] for a bunch of things - while I'm getting a pretty good a handling [R] for script programming, and statistical analysis, I'm struggling with 'pulling data into [R]'. For reasons beyond my control, a number of the files I get sent to 'work with' are in Dbase format (*.dbf). For

I have several hundred Excel 2007 data files in a folder. I would like to read every file in a single given folder using a loop. I have searched the FAQ, the forum archives here, other or older R boards and the R Import / Export documentation, and have asked some very knowledgeable R users without learning of a solution. I hope someone here can help. I understand that the most common

Full_Name: Michael Hecht Version: 1.7.1 OS: WinNT Submission from: (NULL) (193.158.76.205) I've got a problem with the RODBC library while trying to access to an MS-Excel file. The Excel file was originally exportet by a commercial software, so I cannot influence it. The problem is, that the names of the tables include spaces, e.g. "Scan 1","Scan 2" etc. If I use RODBC, I

I'm thoroughly stumped. I've been playing with RODBC and wanted to see if I could retrieve data from text files using this package as well (for the most part, this is an intellectual exercise, but occasionally I do get data files large enough in CSV format RODBC could be helpful) . I set up a DNS called "Text Files" and then ran the following code in R > library(RODBC)

All, I'm trying to connect to a remote SAS server using SAS's 9.1 ODBC driver and the RODBC package. I'm running R-2.6.1 on Win XP. I can successfully connect to the database, but no matter which table I query, I get back an empty table with only the column headers. For example: > sqlQuery(con, "select * from PRICES.DB_PRICES") [1] COMMOD_CURVE START_DATE

Greetings guRus -- I have successfully queried a large (24,445 rows by 281 cols.) in-house database using the following RODBC query (without the line breaks) testout <- sqlQuery(channel, "select idSchedule,EXCL_Total from dbo.vwC1198_2006_RawData_With_CMPL_EXCL") This returns a dataframe of 24445 rows and two columns (as intended), but the following command testout

Dear all, I'm trying to read to a collection of files in a loop using odbcConnectExcel - but not all of the files exist.

I have been trying to read some data from an Excel workbook without success. The workbook is in .xls format and has multiple sheets, one with the sheet name Data, which is the sheet I wish to read from. One complication is that the header row of this sheet is comprised of dropdown boxes. I tried what I normally would do plus some variations. Here is the output. > require(RODBC) >

R 2.0.0 patched under win2000. MS Office Excel 2003. ODBC Drivers? This may not come as a surprise -- sqlFetch() (and perhaps other ?) appear not to handle table/worksheet names with spaces in them in Excel tables. I was not able to find documentation that specifically mentioned this, although the Help pages vaguely hinted that there might be difficulty with Excel's "peculiar

Hi, i'm trying to read some data from excel files but it seems that neither xlsReadWrite nor sqlFetch (RODBC) doesn't like the format (Excel 5.0). When i open the file in Excel and save it in a new format Excel 97 -2003 everything works fine. Is it possible to use ODBC connection to open old format files, or i guess i will have to open and save every file in Excel in new format, which

Dear all, I'm trying to connect to an MSAccess database (ArcGIS personal geodatabase). I keep getting an error about the channel when using sqlQuery().
