Hi, i?m trying to access a MSSQL server (in a windows machine in the network) from a Visual Basic Application running under wine, using an ODBC driver. Since there aren?t any MSSQL drivers for linux i decided to use de native ones, so i installed mdac_typ.exe . Then i configured the DSN using odbcad32.exe but when i tested the connection (configured using tcp/ip) an error message appeared

Hi to all. I have a problem to connect to an Excel database using RODBC. Namely, I am using 64-bit R 2.14.0, under Windows 7 and I tried following: library(RODBC) > channel <- odbcConnectExcel("results.xlsx") Error in odbcConnectExcel("results.xlsx") : odbcConnectExcel is only usable with 32-bit Windows # ok this is clear why it doesn't work > channel

The first column in my Excel sheet has mostly numbers but I need to treat it as character data: > library(RODBC) > channel <- odbcConnectExcel("U:/efg/lab/R/Plasmid/construct list.xls") > plasmid <- sqlFetch(channel,"Sheet1", as.is=TRUE) > odbcClose(channel) > names(plasmid) [1] "Plasmid Number" "Plasmid"

Does anyone have any experience getting ODBC to work? I could really use some help here. I''m having trouble accessing a db2 database via odbc using rails. It''s an external database, that I import data from. I have placed the connection code in my model : unless connected? establish_connection( :adapter => "odbc", :dsn => "<dsn

Hi Team,I need to connect two MSSQL servers.?One server ask me to enter user name and password. I can use dbConnect (from DBI package) to connect the serve.Another one do not ask me credential to access the serve. But when I remove UID and PWD, it doesn't work. Then I tried to use my PC log in credential for UID and PWD, it still doesn't allow me to access. The error message:?Error:

So, does anyone know much about getting rails (on Linux) to talk to mssql? There is a mssql driver, but it only works in Windows. A site said that using ODBC might be an option, but I didn''t see a specific ODBC driver for rails mentioned. The nix machine runs php and it can connect to the mssql db just fine, I don''t recall if it was using ODBC or free TDS though. I hoped

Hi, I am hoping to use the RODBC package to write a dataframe to an Excel .xlsx file. The dataframe contains at least one field with character elements that exceed 255 bytes, which appears to be the cell width limit in Excel. Below is example code and the warning message received: library(RODBC) d <-

Hi all, When i use the ''delete_all'' function to remove a few rows from my database, it causes a deadlock on the sql server. The delete seems to be successful, it then redirects to the ''view'' page, and the record does appear to be deleted as far as the ''view'' rails page shows. BUT if i go into sql query analyser, i can''t do a

Hello, I want to leave pwd blank (to comply w/ company security protocol) and just be prompted by the driver-specific data source dialog box to enter the password after. But for some reason it is not working. R Version: "R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22)" R Studio Version: 0.97.312 OS: Windows 7 library(RODBC) ##HERE IS THE CODE THAT DOES WORK ##my DSN, UID, PWD is entered something like

I reproduce from memory my exhaustive look into this issue. RODBC uses the Microsoft ODBC DLL's developed by Microsoft. These DLL's perform an automatic determination of column type based on the contents of the first N rows of cells in each column, where N [0,16]. N may be set in the Windows system registry, and there are a few other things that may be set in the system registry which

Hi all, I am testing with Asterisk 1.8.0 beta3 using realtime with a mssql server using freetds and unixodbc, which works with 1.6.1.20. With the same config in 1.8 I get an error when trying to start asterisk which says: [Aug 23 15:06:12] WARNING[7180]: loader.c:387 load_dynamic_module: Error loading module 'res_config_odbc.so': /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/res_config_odbc.so: undefined

Hello, I'm trying to execute a stored procedure on a MSSQL Server from the dial plan, but it's not working. I'm getting the following error: Unable to execute query.... Asterisk has been compiled with UnixODBC, and I've done the necessary configurations in func_odbc, res_odbc and odbc.ini. Has anyone done this before with success? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hello, I decided to embrace getting a new Rails application to see an existing MSSQL database and trying to get unixODBC, freeTDS, and ActiveRecord able to query my MSSQL database. I''m following the procedure outlined at http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoConnectToMicrosoftSQLServerFromRailsOnLinux but my system (Ubuntu 8.10 - Intrepid Ibex, Rails 2.3, Ruby 1.8.7)

I'm trying to use func_odbc to write to a MS SQL db. Here's my func_odbc conf: [OPTIN] dsn=MSSQL-Optin write=INSERT into OptIn (orgID) values (${VAL1}) Dial Plan exten => +18665551212,n,Set(ODBC_OPTIN()=dave) When I do an odbc show, it shows that I am connected to the db. If I use isql, I can write to the db, however, when I use func_odbc, a record will not write. I'm using

I have searched the archives for using insert into to update spreadsheets using RODBC and have come up short. So, first off, is it possible? I have put together a dummy xls table (c:\foo.xls)for exploring possibilities of RODBC. Ultimately, I am interested in replacing much of our previous use of vba macros with R ( I'd prefer elimination, but will take what I can get ). In order to

Dear all, I am interested in reading Excel spreadsheets (*.xls) directly into R (I am using version 1.1.1 at the moment). I have not had much luck so far. For the time being, I have been converting Excel files to comma delimited files (*.csv) and reading these into R (using commands such as "read.csv"). This works well, but it would be more efficient if I could read the Excel files

Hey Seniors, Really new to R, please has anyone imported a dataset from MS office excel 2007 into R yet? It seem to be giving me hard times which I did not expect as it use to go well with the previous versions. Thanks in advance. arnoldo --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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

Hi List, just to know if the issue is only a problem of mine or if it is a general issue due to the new MS Office pack. I'm using R 2.11.1 32 bits in a Windows 7 x64 with the MS office 2010 x64 installed. I can import .xls files normally (the same way I did with my Excel 2007 32 bits). But the function odbcConnectExcel2007 isn't able to import .xlsx files now that I have the new version of

Hi All I have an Asterisk 1.8.32.3 instance that will at random intervals stop logging CDR data to MSSQL via FreeTDS. On investigation I'll find that the FreeTDS module has been unloaded somehow. It is not listed in cdr show status or show module like. Trying module load cdr_tds results in module cdr_tds does not provide a license key and the module is not loaded. The only way to get
