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:

Apologies, but after a fair amount of digging, I still only have a foggy understanding of the cause of this problem, due to my own ignorance. I hope to use RODBC package to connect to an Access DB when running 64 bit Win7 (R version 2.11.1, 64 bit). I have successfully done this before on a winXP machine. Currently I am unable to establish a connection using odbcConnect("") (I am

Hello, I created a table in MySQL with this command CREATE TABLE example (pk INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,PRIMARY KEY(pk), id VARCHAR(30),col1 VARCHAR(30),col2 VARCHAR(30)) ### In R, I can connect to this table: library(DBI) library(RODBC) chan <- odbcConnect("MySQL51", uid="root", pwd="xxx") first <- sqlQuery(chan, "select * from example")

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

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 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 <-

Hi, I've installed the RODBC library, R1.000, NT 4.0. When I try to load it here is what I get: library(RODBC) Warning message: Package `RODBC' contains no R code in: library(RODBC) channel <- odbcConnect("PubsDSN", "sa", "password") # userId and password Error: couldn't find function "odbcConnect" Does anyone can shed some ligth on this

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

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

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

I am using RODBC and "odbcConnect". I have successfully used odbcConnect to extract "modest" amounts of data from SQL. For convenience, (and maybe speed?) I wish, if possible, to extract larger amounts of data in a single query. (I am running R2.6.0 under a machine running Windows Small Business Server with 3mb of RAM. I run gc() prior to attempting the query. I have

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:

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

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

Hi, I'm trying to connect to a Teradata database via RODBC on a Linux 64 machine (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5). The ODBC driver is properly configured and queries sent via unixODBC's isql tool work properly. However, this is what happens when I try to connect via RODBC: > library(RODBC) > conn = odbcConnect("thedsn", uid="theuid", pwd="thepass") ***

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

I am trying to restart on R after 2 months stop. Start with previously functioning procedure: "ch<-odbcConnect("dBase Files")" get "Warning message: ODBC connection failed in: odbcConnect("dBase Files") " I have tried unsuccessfully different working directories. The only change I see is that I am working with a new login account on the same machine.

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

Dear list, Being new to both the postgres database, ODBC and the RODBC interface, I am somewhat confused by some of the problems I am experiencing trying to connect R to the database. Whai I am trying is basically the example part of the help file for the sqlSave function: > library(RODBC) > odbcConnect("theodor") -> channel > data(USArrests) > sqlSave(channel,

Hi I'm presently trying to connect to Oracle through RODBC / UnixODBC on linux (Red Hat 5). I've successfully connected through the easysoft drivers but the trial license has run out and I'm trying to connect via the default Oracle 11G driver. However I'm getting the following error > library(RODBC) > setwd (paste("/home/oracle/scripts/R")) > channel
