similar to: Oracle ODBC driver for Sun Solaris

Hi R users and Dr. Uwe Ligges: I read on the ROracle pre-compiled binary README file that: "Although the package ROracle passes make check, it seems to be dangerous to distribute it: I do not have the software available this package depends on." Why it is dangerous to use ROracle for windows? What software does ROracle depends on in windows platform? Is there a GNU solution for an

Hi, Version info: R: 1.5.1 RODBC: 0.8.3 Oracle: 8.1.7 unixODBC: 2.2.2 Easysoft ODBC driver: 1.0.0.6 SunOS/Solaris: 5.7 I'm trying to get RODBC working with Oracle on Solaris. I've installed unixODBC and the Easysoft ODBC driver. There are no problems connecting to the DB and executing queries using unixODBC's isql interactive client. Using R and RODBC however, I can open a connection

[sorry, but this is a re-post - I forgot to set the subject line the first time around] Hello, I would like to access an Oracle database running on Solaris from R on my linux desktop. I have had a look at the R Data Import/Export manual, and downloaded RODBC and unixODBC, but I am still quite confused about how to proceed. It appears to me that I still need to get an Oracle ODBC driver, and

Hi all, I would like the following code to work, but it doesn't: library(DBI) library(RODBC) m <- dbDriver("RODBC") # Example for dbConnect(DBI), causes error m <- dbDriver("ODBC") # Example for DBIDriver-class(DBI), causes error The errors are: Error in do.call(as.character(drvName), list(...)) : could not find function "RODBC" (substitute

Dear All, I want to connnect R with oracle. I am using RODBC package for this connection. Following is my code to connect library(RODBC) channel <- odbcConnect("Vikrant") I am getting following error. 1: In odbcDriverConnect("DSN=Vikrant") : [RODBC] ERROR: state NA000, code 12288, message [Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not

I have been using RODBC for a while with no complaints (R 2.0.1 patched under WinXP), then I saw a link (http://grass.itc.it/statsgrass/r_and_dbms.html) showing that Rdbi claims to run a query in 5 seconds that takes RODBC 4.3 minutes. That was hard enough for me to believe that I wanted to try some tests myself, but I cannot get Rdbi to connect to my ODBC database. Here is what works for RODBC

Hi all, I'm having trouble connecting to an oracle database using RODBC under winXP. Unfortunately I can't really send a reproducable error as the initial call to odbcConnect seems to hangs R and I have to kill the session. I have been using RODBC to sucessfully connect to an MS Access DB that has tables linked through to the oracle database in question and that seems to work OK but it

Dear R Beginners, Experts and Users, I already asked this question on the R-sig-DB mailing list, but sadly didn't got a reply :-( . Keeping fingers crossed that I have more luck on the main R mailinglist :) . I'm trying to connect to a MySQl database via Gnu R using the RODBC interface. The conenction workes but I get an empty result string. Gnu R and the MySql DB are running on a 64 bit

I have the following problem in getting the "sqlSave" function from the example code in the R package RODBC to work with MySQL as ODBC server: - a new database is created, but no data is written to it - the example code works just fine when I use MS Access as ODBC server. ----------- offending code and output ------------------- > library(RODBC); > channel <-

Dear R-Helpers, I would like to read an Excel .xls file via RODBC. I have successfully run the example in p. 18 of "R Data Import/Export". The problem I am facing is that Excel's ODBC driver seems to have a limit on the number of fields/columns (output below). I haven't found any documentation on what this limit L might be, but I know that 128 <= L < 256. Does anyone know

I have just finished a first rough cut of RODBC, a database connectivity addon. In theory it should allow access to any odbc compliant database for which the driver set is installed. On unix this includes MySQL, mSQL and postgres using the unixODBC set. On windows it should include access, sqlserver etc if the odbc drivers are installed. For those who have never taken an interest in this,

Howdy, I'm trying to use R to access Oracle 8i using the RODBC package On Linux Red Hat 7.3. Specs R version 1.51 Driver: Easysoft ODBC - Oracle driver Driver Manager: unixODBC I get the following error when trying to executing RODBC commands. Can anybody give me pointers as to what I'm missing or doing wrong > library(RODBC) > channel <- ("DSNName") >

Hi, useR- I am connecting to Oracle database using RODBC, but keep getting this error message: > library(RODBC) > channel <- odbcConnect(dsn="abc", uid="abc", pwd="abc", case='oracle') Warning in odbcDriverConnect(st, ...) : [RODBC] ERROR: state IM002, code 0, message [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default

I believe IO in R is slow because of the way it is implemented, not because it has to do some extra work for the user. I compared scan() with 'what' argument set (which is, AFAIK, is the fastest way to read a CSV file) to an equivalent C code. It turned out to be 20 - 50 times slower. I can see at least two main reasons why R's IO is so slow (I didn't profile this though): A) it

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 everybody, I have tried to connect to external databases (specifically, to a MS Access database in my computer) from R using the RODBC package. Unfortunatelly I haven't been able to do it, even if I 'followed' the instructions in the manual. COuld someone please help me? I have a MS Access database in my computer and I went to the control panel in order to create a DSN file

R-sig-Debian help, I have installed an ODBC Driver for Linux. I want to connect to our database through R via: >library(RODBC) >con <- odbcDriverConnect("SERVER=IP_address:PORT;DRIVER=ORACLE;DATABASE=MAGNUS") Warning message: In odbcDriverConnect("SERVER=IP_address:PORT;DRIVER=ORACLE;DATABASE=MAGNUS") : ODBC connection failed I don't really know whether this

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, This is not an R question per ce, but I feel like this is a right community to ask it. As a part of our work we run a lot of non-interactive computational jobs. To increase the throughput we would like to distribute the load over the entire network and we are looking at Linux network as a platform. Ideally we would like to be able to submit a job to the network, rather than to a computer, and
