Connect R and Teradata using JDBC

Question

I´m trying to connect R and Teradata using RJDBC.

I´ve found this link that has an example using mysql, but i´m nos sure how to do the same with teradata.

Answer 1

Using the R Console, enter the following steps below to make a Teradata connection:

drv = JDBC("com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver","ClasspathForTeradataJDBCDriverFiles") 

Example:

drv = JDBC("com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver","c:\\terajdbc\\terajdbc4.jar;c:\\terajdbc\\tdgssconfig.jar")  

NOTE: A path on a UNIX machine would use single forward slashes to separate its components and a colon between files.

conn = dbConnect(drv,"jdbc:teradata://DatabaseServerName/ParameterName=Value","User","Password") 

Example:

conn = dbConnect(drv,"jdbc:teradata://jdbc1410ek1.labs.teradata.com/TMODE=ANSI,LOGMECH=LDAP","guestldap","passLDAP01")

NOTE: Connection parameters are optional. The first ParameterName is separated from the DatabaseServerName by a forward slash character.

dbGetQuery(conn,"SQLquery")

Example:

dbGetQuery(conn,"select ldap from dbc.sessioninfov where sessionno=session")
