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

Hello Users: I'm using R version 2.0.1, and having problems with RODBC.

Hi, I'm trying to establish a connection to a MySQL database, and am using the rodbc package for it. This is in a GNU/Debian Linux box, with the corresponding Debian unstable packages. I can login to my MySQL databases from any shell and directory, so the problem is probably not there. Here's an example of what I'm doing: R> odbcConnect("test",

Hi I'm presently trying to connect to Oracle through RODBC / UnixODBC on linux (Red Hat 5).

However I'm getting the following error > library(RODBC) > setwd (paste("/home/oracle/scripts/R")) > channel

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 am trying to query a Sybase database on my new windows 7 machine.

I'm wondering how to save an object (models like lm, loess, etc) in a DB to retrieve and use it afterwards, an example: wind_ms <- abs(rnorm(24*30)*4+8) air_kgm3 <- rnorm(24*30, 0.1)*0.1 + 1.1 wind_dg <- rnorm(24*30) * 360/7 ms <- c(0:25) kw_mm92 <- c(0,0,0,20,94,205,391,645,979,1375,1795,2000,2040) kw_mm92 <- c(kw_mm92, rep(2050, length(ms)-length(kw_mm92))) modelspline

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

This is my second posting on this topic, the first recieved no replies. Has anyone successfully used RODBC on the OS X platform? I've tested the ODBC drivers I'm using with two other applications and I've had no problems. I begining to think the problem is with R/RODBC and not the drivers. Here are the specifics: I'm having a problem connecting to an MS SQL Database via RODBC

I created the simple library, attached. When I terminate an R session where the library has been loaded with q() a segmentation fault is thrown. Is there any cleaning that I should be doing? >From R session: > q() Segmentation fault or from shell: $ R CMD BATCH r.in /usr/lib/R/bin/BATCH: line 55: 17359 Done ( echo "invisible(options(echo = TRUE))"; cat ${in};

I am using R-2.10.1 binary from CRAN on a WinXP Pro system. I also use SAS v9.2 on the same box. I just started using the SAS ODBC driver that comes with version 9 of SAS. I have been able to set up an ODBC source for SAS datasets using the driver, and then with RODBC I am able to read a sample SAS dataset. > library(RODBC) > ch <- odbcConnect('sasodbc', believeNRows=FALSE)

Hi WizaRds, I'm experiencing a problem connecting to an Oracle 10g database via RODBC (I'm getting this on Microsoft XP). The same SQL queries via PL/SQL Developer work just fine, but when I pump the query through sqlQuery in RODBC then I get a data frame back with 0 rows. I cut the query down alternating between PL/SQL and RODBC until I figured that it's some kind of row limit or
