When installing the R package RODBC in RStudio on OS X Yosemite, I get the following error: configure: error: "ODBC headers sql.h and sqlext.h not found" This is a common error and indicates that ODBC drivers haven't been installed (iODBC headers aren't included in OS 10.9 hence the separate install required). So, I install unixODBC and confirm that the header files are present in the PATH. Sys.getenv("PATH") gives me the correct path including where the two files are found. However, when I try install.packages("RODBC",type = "source") again, the same error persists. Have tested this with

I'm trying to upload a dataframe to a SQL Server table, I tried breaking it down to a simple SQL query string.. library(RODBC) con <- odbcDriverConnect("driver=SQL Server; server=database") df <- data.frame(a=1:10, b=10:1, c=11:20) values <- paste("(",df$a,",", df$b,",",df$c,")", sep="", collapse=",") cmd <- paste("insert into MyTable values ", values) result <- sqlQuery(con, cmd, as.is=TRUE) ..which seems to work but does not scale very well. Is there an easier way? [edited] Perhaps pasting the names(df) would solve the scaling problem: values <- paste( " df[ , c(", paste( names(df),collapse=

Issue: RODBC (falsely) returning zero rows Situation: I'm using RODBC to connect to a DSN I created using a commercial DB's ODBC driver (OSI Soft's PI Historian Time Series DB, if you're curious). > library(RODBC) > piconn <- odbcConnect("PIRV", uid = "pidemo") > sqlStr <- "SELECT tag, time, status, value FROM piinterp WHERE tag = 'PW1.PLANT1.PRODUCTION_RATE' and time > DATE('-4h') and timestep = '+2m'" Now if I query, I get zero rows. > sqlQuery(piconn, sqlStr) [1] TAG TIME STATUS VALUE <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names) With BelieveNRows = FALSE these all still show zero results, even though

I've been trying to connect my company's DMS to R using the odbcConnect command, but get the following message: myConn <-odbcConnect("NZSQL", uid="cejacobson", pwd="password") Warning messages: 1: In odbcDriverConnect("DSN=NZSQL;UID=cejacobson;PWD=password") : [RODBC] ERROR: state IM002, code 0, message [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified 2: In odbcDriverConnect("DSN=NZSQL;UID=cejacobson;PWD=password") : ODBC connection failed The thing is, I'm positive the Data source name is NZSQL and my uid and password are correct as well. Any insight as to

I am running R on unix and I am using the RODBC package to connect to MS SQL server. I can execute a query that returns results fine with the package, but if I use a temporary table somewhere in my SQL query, an empty string is returned to me. After looking over the web, I think the problem might be that the RODBC package was written assuming an end-user was writing in standard SQL (as opposed to MS SQL). I have provided the below code as an example. Interestingly enough, the temporary table problem does not exist if I use the RJDBC package. However, the RJDBC package is painfully slow with

Does anyone have a connection string example for using RODBC and connecting to MS SQL Server 2005 or 2008. Thank you. Henrico library(RODBC) dbhandle <- odbcDriverConnect('driver={SQL Server};server=mysqlhost;database=mydbname;trusted_connection=true') res <- sqlQuery(dbhandle, 'select * from information_schema.tables') 42- Taken from a posting to r-help : library(RODBC) channel <- odbcDriverConnect("driver=SQL Server;server=01wh155073") initdata<- sqlQuery(channel,paste("select * from test_DB .. test_vikrant")) dim(initdata) odbcClose(channel) Try to use RSQLS package: https://github.com

Simple question, but cannot find the answer. Instead of: Df <- sqlQuery(ch, "SELECT * FROM tblTest WHERE Id=25") I want a more dynamic piece of code. Something like: Id <- 25 Df <- sqlQuery(ch, c("SELECT * FROM tblTest WHERE Id=", Id)) But this is not correct. Joshua Ulrich We can use paste: Df <- sqlQuery(ch, paste("SELECT * FROM tblTest WHERE Id =", Id)) c concatenates into a vector, paste is for string concatenation. Or we can use sprintf: sprintf("SELECT * FROM tblTest WHERE Id = %s", Id) If you have multiple or reused arguments and a query that contains % you can use something like the
