Hi! I'm manipulating XLSX data using RODBC, however a limitation which appears to be driver based is that you can't clear or drop sheets from the XLSX files, as per the following example: > library(RODBC) > xlsx<-odbcDriverConnect("DRIVER=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb);DBQ=c:\\documents and settings\\desktop\\testxlsx.xlsx; ReadOnly=False") >

Dear List, I have a problem with RODBC on a Paradox-DB, sqlQuery, and special characters in table names. Unfortunately, some of the latter include the underscore <_>. And I am not able to change them. That's not a problem, when I quote the table name: > sqlQuery(channel2, 'SELECT * FROM "anmeldung-alt"') Btw, if I swap ' and " it does not work: >

Hi; It's been a while since I controlled my own server and I'm rusty. Trying to install mysql yum install mysql All looks well. Here's what happens: [root at 13gems www]# mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) [root at 13gems www]# mysql -u root -p Enter password: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to

I am having a problem with RODBC's connections. It appears that my connection to the database is closed by R automatically before I am done with it. Here is my code: foo <- function(dsn) { db <- odbcConnect(dsn) odbcSetAutoCommit(db, FALSE) data <- someDatabaseOperation(db) data2 <- someLongCalculation(data) anotherDatabaseOperation(db, data2) # This often fails b/c the

Hi all, I am encountering an RODBC problem in R 2.15.1 in windows 64 bit which I do not encountered in the same set up in windows 32 bit (the latest binary version of RODBC in both cases from the same depository gotten by install.packages(‘RODBC’), Oracle ODBC client software installed in 64 and 32 bit respectively) 1. The code looks like library(RODBC) credentials <-

Under WinXP, I have a system DSN called foo. It has stored username/password information. (I can click Configure in ODBC Administrator and then Test Data Source connects to MySQL without me re-entering data.) Using RODBC, I can connect to the same database. But when I do odbcConnect("foo"), I get a window that requires me to re-enter username/password information. It seems like

I'm trying to pull data from multiple MS SQL Sever databse in R. I can access the databases one at a time, but the tables are to large to pull the entire tables then join then in R. So I need to do a SQL join that will join the tables from the each of the databases. How do I combine the connection so that I can implement it in my sql query below. I'm currently getting the following error:

Hello Folks, I do hope this is the correct place to post (and not in R-SIG-DB). I have spent the better part of a day searching for an answer to this question, and have yet to resolve it. I am trying to query an .accdb Access database (with 32-bit Office 2007 currently residing on the machine) with 64-bit R via RODBC. There seem to be some conflicting accounts as to whether or not this is

Hi I am trying to use RODBC in R installed on Windows to access MySQL database (on a linux box). I set up a DSN and specified this DSN in R as follows library(RODBC); channel <- odbcConnect("mysqldsn"); RODB Connection 5 Details: case=nochange PORT=3306 ........

Happy New Year to all in the list! I am trying to issue an SQL query to a database from R using RODBC (on Windows). The data source file is on my PC hard disk : C:\Program Files\ODBC\sql.dsn The "\" character does not get interpreted properly in R - it is removed from the file-spec string or if I specify "\\" it appears as such with a syntax error in odbcConnect(dsn,

I got drivers from OpenLink, created a dsn and tested it using the iODBC application. then I load the RODBC package, use this code and get the following error. I tried with both the

Hi I know that it is very easy to import data from a dbf file to R, by saving the data as csv, for instance. However, I have several hundreds of files to do that. So, I thought of using RODBC to read the dbf files and save it as data.frame. However, I cannot even start (this is my first time using such package): > library(RODBC) > bdades <- odbcConnect("prova.DBF") Warning

Hi, I'm trying to get to grips with accessing my postgresql tables in R using RODBC. I have Mac OS 10.2.8 (Darwin 6.8) installed and R 1.8.0 installed from source and I have updated RODBC to 1.0-4.
