Hello Madan, I am rather novice as well, so I went the ODBC way. If you define an ODBC connection to Oracle, with System DSN dsn-name, the code to get the results of a query into, say, mydata is like :
library(RODBC) # First of all channel <- odbcConnect("dsn-name", uid="someuser") # double quotes required, it will ask for the password # Return rows from an SQL query mydata <- sqlQuery (channel, "Select .... put your query here ...") # same as before odbcClose(channel) # When you're done HTH, Gabriele Franzini ICT Applications Manager Nerviano Medical Sciences SRL Nerviano Italy ______________________________________________ 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.
