Dear R User's, Thank you, Mark. The following code suggested by you worked for me. dbGetQuery(connAE1, sprintf("INSERT INTO test1 (id) VALUES ( %d );", i)) But I have a issue in passing "date and time data" as variable.If I hard code the value like bellow it workings. dbGetQuery(connAE1, sprintf("INSERT INTO test1 (id) VALUES ( %s );", ,'\'2012-06-10 16:36:00+05:30\'')) Can some body please help me with the code where I need to read from a variable(i) which has data & time (2012-06-10 16:36:00+05:30). R is throwing error for space as shown in output bellow
