rodbc

I have a variable in R that I would like to pass to a database. I could use paste like many suggest when reading Google results, but that is unsafe because of SQL injection vulnerabilities. I'd rather prefer something like this: x <- 42 sqlQuery(db, 'SELECT Id, Name FROM People WHERE Age > ?;', bind=c(x)) Is it possible to use parameterized queries with RODBC? If not, is there an alternative library that supports them? I'm using SQL Server, RODBC 1.3-6 and R 3.0.0. Mateusz Zoltak wrote RODBCext package in 2014 (based on work by Brian Ripley and Michael Lapsley): conn = odbcConnect(

Specifically, I need to pass such a variable to either a scalar/table-valued function, a stored procedure, and/or perhaps the WHERE clause of a SELECT statement. For example, let: x <- 1 ## user-defined Then, example <- sqlQuery(myDB,"SELECT * FROM dbo.my_table_fn (x)") Or..

I have been trying to install some packages such as RODBC, ROracle or RGtk2 - used for rattle. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me get around this problem so that I could use these applications on a Mac with mavericks and with 3.1.1 R I get this sort of error for both RODBC and RGtk2: package ‘RGtk2’ is available as a source package but not as a binary Warning in install.packages : package ‘RGtk2’ is not available (for R version 3.1.1) When I try to use type='source', I can download or start to download but then I get this sort of error message...
