Hi, all:
This is the first time I use mail-list for help and I'm a student
from Chinese. So forgive my poor English skill.
Here is the question: I have an excel file contains some stkcd
information. The stkcd is a string fill with numbers, e.g "000002". When i
use sqlFetch function from RODBC package. It will automatically read stkcd
as a number, e.g 2 which is truly confusing me. Any suggestions please.
No, it will not. It (like read.table) does so because you asked it to.
See the 'R Data Import/Export Manual' (which has lots of good advice and
should be basic reading for people importing data into R) and the help
for sqlFetch (especially the as.is argument).
