SQL Server RODBC Connection

Question

Does anyone have a connection string example for using RODBC and connecting to MS SQL Server 2005 or 2008.

Thank you.

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)
