similar to: RODBC for importing dbf

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 - 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

Hello, I am trying to play with RODBC library and Excel Files. In my file (doubs.xls) there are 2 spreadsheets: > library(RODBC) > connection<-odbcConnect("Excel Files") > sqlTables(connection) TABLE_CAT TABLE_SCHEM TABLE_NAME TABLE_TYPE REMARKS 1 F:\\Th?se\\R\\Doubs NA Faune$ SYSTEM TABLE NA 2 F:\\Th?se\\R\\Doubs NA Milieu$

Estimados: Tengo un directorio con varios archivos Excel quiero importarlos todos y grabarlos en un único archivo .dbf. Haciendolo uno por uno lo logro de la siguiente manera (solo tomo 2 archivos): archivos <- list.files(pattern = 'xls') a1 <- read.xls(archivos[1], perl="C:\\strawberry\\perl\\bin\\perl.exe",skip=12,dec=",",header=F,as.is=T) a2 <-

Hello, I use a RODBC connection to a MySQL server on a Debian machine. The call to odbcConnect() seems to be ok, but the result of the first sqlFetch(channel,"t_studie") retrieves this data frame: [1] "[RODBC] ERROR: Could not SQLExecDirect" [2] "42000 1064 [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.0.22-Debian_1bpo1-log]You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual

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

A disturbing behaviour of R: an import of data using RODBC library (Windows 98, R 1.1.1) recognizes accented characters in variables names but these can't be manipulated further. See below: > library(Rodbc) > ch<-odbcConnect("Paradox Files") > pollut<-sqlFetch(ch,Pollutio) > pollut Mortalit? Densit? Pollution 1 82 600 110 2 97 960

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

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').

Hi, I've written some code that fetches data from an Access Database (2003), processes the data, then saves the modified data back into a table in the Access database. It works if I only pass through the code once, but if I put a loop around the code so that I fetch data from a different source table, and then save it again to a different destination table, the code crashes. It is

Hello, i would like import Data from Sybase DataBase to R-1.5.0 via RODBC. With this i get a connection without problems ! channel <- odbcConnect("ODBCName","LoginName","LoginPass") dataSybase <- sqlFetch(channel,"EPORT_XYZ") ,but when i try this i get a message error ? (Perhaps the _ is a problem, i know that's i.e. not usual to name

Hello, I am new to the RODBC package, but I have looked over the PDF as well as a few websites that go over the SQL language. I can connect to my database fine using >channel<-odbcConnect("Oracle ODBC") # then am prompted to enter my user id and password After that I'd like to use the odbcQuery function and the SQL statement: SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE SAMPLE_YEA LIKE

Dear collegues, How can I get the name of a variable (and not the variable) within a function ? For instance, in the following function, I'd like to create a variable in the dataframe df with the same name to the variable passed in var: prova <- function( var ) { df <- as.data.frame(matrix(nr=20,nc=0)) df[["here"]] <- seq(min(var), max(var), le= 20) # df } for

I'm thoroughly stumped. I've been playing with RODBC and wanted to see if I could retrieve data from text files using this package as well (for the most part, this is an intellectual exercise, but occasionally I do get data files large enough in CSV format RODBC could be helpful) . I set up a DNS called "Text Files" and then ran the following code in R > library(RODBC)

Hello Users: I'm using R version 2.0.1, and having problems with RODBC. Everything works fine when I use Rgui, but when I try to use Rterm and issue the commands library(RODBC) con <- odbcConnect("MySQL", "test") I get the following error: Error in sqlQuery(con, str) : first argument is not an open RODBC channel In addition: Warning messages:

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

Dear All, The recent improvement in RODBC to recognize datetimes in tables has exposed my ongoing confusion. All my data are obtained from a satellite system (Argos) which tags events in the GMT time zone. Daylight saving is ignored. To my way of thinking this means that 1. twelve-o-clock means halfway through the day regardless of season, and 2. the difftime of any two dates where

Dear all, I'm trying to connect to an MSAccess database (ArcGIS personal geodatabase). I keep getting an error about the channel when using sqlQuery(). However, sqlTables() does not complain about the channel and lists all tables in the database. If I try sqlFetch(), then R crashes. I'm happy to hear suggestions on how to solve this. Best regards, Thierry > MDB <-

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
