similar to: Read in data from Microsoft SQL

Dear Users I am new to R. I'm trying to make a connection to Microsoft SQL Server via R. How can I find the correct syntax to make the connection? The Help pdf file has an example for mySql but there's isnt much on SQL Server. Please help. I am trying the following code library(RODBC) con<-odbcConnect(dbname,hostname) How do I specify the driver,userid,password etc? Many thanks for

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:

I use RODBC as my conduit from R to SQL. It works well when the tables are stored on one channel, e.g., channel <- odbcConnect("data_base_01", uid="....", dsn="....") However, I often need to match tables across multiple databases, e.g., "data_base_01" and "data_base_02". However, odbcConnect() appears limited insofar as you may only query

Hi, I have a data base in oracle and need to link R using ODBC. When i use the command odbcConnect a dsn is needed. I would like to create a dsn.Do you know how can i do it? Thank you. Margarida,Portugal

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

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

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

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 <-

Hello, I want to leave pwd blank (to comply w/ company security protocol) and just be prompted by the driver-specific data source dialog box to enter the password after. But for some reason it is not working. R Version: "R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22)" R Studio Version: 0.97.312 OS: Windows 7 library(RODBC) ##HERE IS THE CODE THAT DOES WORK ##my DSN, UID, PWD is entered something like

Hello Everyone,   I'm still quite new to R and am having trouble reading SQL Server Tables using RODBC. I've looked though the RODBC documentation as well as material I found online and in the book "Data Manipulation with R," but I just can't quite seem to get things to work.   Right now, I have code that looks something like:   channel <- odbcDriverConnect

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 ........ Although this seems to connect properly, running any command yields NO results. i.e. sqlQuery(channel, "show

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

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'm looking for an optimal approach to access Oracle databases via RWeb applications. I'm new to R but familiar with programming functions and web pages for the S+ Statserver. I'm now going through the motions of migrating S+/Statserver applications to R/RWeb as a feasability exercise. I can access databases using ODBC directly in R or S, and using Statserver, but I have not succeeded

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, 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

Hello, I'm using R 2.2.0 on a Mac and attempting to use the RODBC package to connect to a PostgreSQL server on the local network. I can't tell whether my problem is in R, or in ODBC setup. 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

Hola a todos, Tengo un problema con RStudio y la conexión a una base de datos. Desde la terminal no tengo problemas para ejecutar, por ejemplo: library(RODBC) channel <- odbcConnect("MiBaseDatos", uid = "MiUsuario", pwd = "MiContrasena") datos <- sqlQuery(channel,"SELECT TO_CHAR(S.B_STOD_DATO,'YYYY') \ , M.STODNR \ ... ... ...") pero desde
