Hello everyone!
Congratulations by this gorgeous software.
My name is Germán Carrillo, I'm writting from Colombia. I don't have much
experience with R, reason why I use the R-GUI (version 2.5.1) on Windows.
I have some problems with DBI package, I want to connect to PostgreSQL
database but I don't know the way to do it.
As far as I am aware DBI does not currently have a PostgreSQL driver. To
connect to PostgreSQL you can use RODBC (easy) or RdbiPgSQL (and Rdbi)
from Bioconductor, which uses a precursor to DBI. Unfortunately, I don't
see a Windows binary for RdbiPgSQL on the Bioconductor site so you would
need to compile it from sources (not easy).
I was reading the DBI manual and I tried write in my R Console the next
command:
pg <- dbDriver("PostgreSQL")
But R says:
Error en do.call(as.character(drvName), list(...)) :
no se pudo encontrar la función "PostgreSQL"
I don't know what's happen, I would like to receive some help about this
topic, I was looking for in the internet but there's few documentation about
this package.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Pdt: Sorry by my english, I'm learning... :)
