Hi I Can't connect to the Oracle database, any tips? Has anybody actually got ROracle up and running on windows?
>> unable to find an inherited method for function "dbConnect", for signature "OraDriver" I can happily connect to the same database through RODBC. Oracle client, version 9.2 installed, amongst others.
