Reading data from Microsoft SQL Server into R

Question

Is it possible to read the data stored in MS SQL server from R interface?

If it is I would be also thankful if anyone could show the way to do it.

Answer 1

I've applied RODBC function suggested by other users. LinkSQL Server RODBC Connection

library(RODBC)
dbhandle <- odbcDriverConnect('driver={SQL 
Server};server=mysqlhost;database=mydbname;trusted_connection=true')
res <- sqlQuery(dbhandle, 'select * from information_schema.tables')

change two variables based on your Data table. 'server=mysqlhost;database=mydbname'
