What is the recommended way of checking whether an RODBC connection is open?
Since odbcValidChannel is not exported from namespace RODBC, I suppose I shouldn't be using it. This is the best I could come up with, but it seems a bit 'dirty' to be using a tryCatch for something like this: odbcOpenp <- function(conn) tryCatch({odbcGetInfo(conn);TRUE},error=function(...)FALSE) Suggestions? -s [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
