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.

Answer 1

First You have to Create/configure DSN (ODBC connection with specific DB)

Then install RODBC library.

library(RODBC)
myconn <-odbcConnect("MyDSN", uid="***", pwd="*******")

fetchData<- sqlQuery(myconn, "select * from tableName")
View(fetchData)
close(myconn)
