Hi Mark,
Thank you so much for reply, using exiting ODBC drivers I will make a
connection to sql server and it’s working fine in my local, but as per
shinyapps.io I need to use freeTDS drivers instead RODBC ,so that I may not
encounter the any issue .For me here challenging work is how to install
freeTDS on my machine and how to configure it?
Is there any drivers/way that can i make a connection to sql server
and I shouldn’t encounter the issue after deploying application on
shinyapps.io.
Thanks,Manu.
