Calling function "sqlFetch" in library(RODBC) and specifying a character string as 2nd argument, I get an error I don't understand: library(RODBC) channel <- odbcConnect("mydatabase.mdb", case="msaccess") sqlFetch(channel, "mytable") # this works fine tabname <- "mytable"; sqlFetch(channel, tabname) # this gives an error: # Error in

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

I am using the following: library(RODBC) chan = odbcConnectExcel("rats-lda") rats.lda = sqlFetch(chan, "data") close(chan) And getting the following error message: > library(RODBC) Error in library(RODBC) : there is no package called ?RODBC? > chan = odbcConnectExcel("rats-lda") Error: could not find function "odbcConnectExcel" > rats.lda =

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 probably an old question. I have R.3.0.1 installed in 64 bit windows 7. The odbcConnectExcel in RODBC library does not work. Tried odbcConnectExcel2007 still does not work. Any ideas. Thanks Melissa<-sqlFetch(odbcConnectExcel2007("F:\\Cotton2012\\validation.xlsx"),sqtable = "Sheet3", + na.strings = "NA", as.is = TRUE) Error in

Hi, Thanks for showing me how to use RODBC and odbcConnect. Now works nicely. The question I've got now is: noms <- list.files(pattern=".DBF") # removing extension names: noms <- sapply(noms, function(x) as.character(strsplit(x,".DBF")) , USE.NAMES=F) for (i in 1:length(noms)) { s <- sqlFetch(bdades, noms[i]) # etc. } But it seems that sqlFetch()

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

I'm using RODBC to read an excel file (not mine!). But I'm struggling to find a way to preserve the column names that have a numeric value. sqlFetch() drops the value and calls them f1, f2, f3,... (ie field number). this is a different approach from read.csv, which will append "V" prior to the numeric column name. sqlFetch isn't so helpful. Is there a way to get the

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

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

Hello, I have some problems with RODBC and Excel in Win98 I am using R 1.6.2 and just upgraded RODBC to the last version on CRAN. I have an Excel file with columns Number, Name, Sex, Age, FEV1 on Sheet 1 and Number, Age, FEV1, Name, Sex on Sheet 2. Now I open the channel to the file > chan1 <- odbcConnectExcel("c:/testOdbc.xls") > tables(chan1) and the list appears with the 2

This is about R 2.7.0 and related packages on windows NT. I have a mixture of numeric and character data and empty cells in an Excel spreadsheet with several tabs that I'm trying to read with sqlFetch from RODBC. The data that is returned by sqlFetch is unfortunately not identical to the source data in that in columns with character values in the first few rows the subsequent rows of that

Dear all, I've used RODBC a lot to read in files created in MS excel and access but found a strange problem today: a variable in my data file contained both numbers and text; sqlFetch would set text within a row of numbers to NA; but if first 5 or 6 rows would be text then all numbers would be read in as NA. con<-odbcConnectExcel("xample.xls") #the file is attached or at

I'm using the RODBC library to read in an Excel file using the odbcConnectExcel function. I can read the Excel data prefectly, however all my character variables get converted to factors when using my.data <- as.data.frame(sqlFetch(channel, "Sheet1")) I've tried using my.data <- as.data.frame(I(sqlFetch(channel, "Sheet1"))) but this creates just

I have some questions about the RODBC package. library(RODBC) # required for those who want to repeat these lines 1st, I noticed that the following sequence does not work: channel <- odbcConnextExcel("test.xls") tables <- sqlTables(channel) name1 <- tables[1, "TABLE_NAME"] # this should be the name plan1 <- sqlFetch(channel, name1) # bang!

Dear All, How do I read in multiple data frames or matrices in a loop, e.g. for (i in 1:n) { channel <- odbcConnectExcel("filenames") file[i] <- as.data.frame(sqlFetch(channel, "sheet")) } I would like file[i] to be the name of the data.frame (i.e. file[1], file[2], file[3],...etc) rather than a vector. Thanks in advance for any help. Dave

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
