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

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

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

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 attempting to use the RODBC package on Windows Vista to import an excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet has three worksheets the last of which is blank. Following an example in Phil Spector's book (p. 34), after creating a connection named con I did the following: > con RODBC Connection 3 Details: case=nochange DBQ=c:\temp\test.xls DefaultDir=c:\temp

I tried creating a .xlsx file using odbcConnectExcel2007 and adding a worksheet with sqlSave. This seems to work, I am even able to query the worksheet, but when I try opening the file in Excel I get the following message: "Excel cannot open the file 'test.xlx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file

Dear List In my short life as a beginning R-user i've encountered a following problem that i'm unable to solve myself: I have a database in MySQL containing table and field names as well as some data containing Polish accentuated characters (like ????), utf8-encoded. It works just fine with just any external query browser i can find, jdbc, odbc, native, whatever. Also mysql is happy

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

Hi folks, Win 7 64bit R 2.12.0 32bit Problem in reading Excel spreadsheets (the text file, research_databaseI.xls, was download on Internet) > data=odbcConnectExcel(file.choose()) > sqlTables(data) TABLE_CAT TABLE_SCHEM 1 C:\\Users\\satimiswin764\\Documents\\research_databaseI <NA> 2

Your error message was >> d <- sqlFetch(channel, District) > Error in odbcTableExists(channel, sqtable) : > object "District" not found and as you had not defined an object 'District' in that session, it seems perfectly plain. If you want to refer to table "District" you have to give a character string (with quotes), not the name of an R

Dear list - I am having a problem using RODBC to access records from tables in a PostgreSQL database. There is no problem establishing the connection using chnl <- odbcConnect (dsn= ... etc. The DSN seems to be properly set up using the PostgreSQL Unicode ODBC driver, and sqlTables(chnl) works OK and produces a list of tables in the database (they are all in a schema called 'source').

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

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

Dear all What is the preferred spreadsheet-like x-delimited data format for use with R? Should I prefer tab-, comma-, space- or some_other_delimitor-seprated data? I'm asking this because I've been once bitten by CSV data containing ` ' ' (apostrophe) symbols that R couldn't easily digest. Probably no the best approach, I've eventually inspected the document and removed
