Cedrick / Moshe,
 
Thank you very much for such a quick response.
 
My objective is to do the faster calculations by submitting a R job from my 
desktop to this server.
 
Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition is currently running on this server.
 
My objective is not only limited to access various oracle tables from this 
server but also I like to utilise this server for faster calculations and I 
like to use R for this. So far, I did not install anything related to R into 
this server. 
 
I have R installed on my desktop (Windows XP). I use RODBC / ODBC products to 
access data from this server and I use R / S-PLUS (installed on my desktop) to 
do the analyses.
 
Is there any way to submit R job from my desktop to this server? How can I use 
this server to do my job faster?

Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.
  
I am looking forward for your reply.
  
Regards,
  
Deb

Good Morning Deb-

It's unclear (to me at least) what you are trying to do.. What is the 
"server" running? Is it running RServe for which you have a userid and 
pwd or is it just a plain  "server" running some OS?

*IF* this is the case (RServe):
on the windows machine you will need to:

install.packages("Rserve")
library(Rserve)
?Rserve
--and optionally--
?RSeval

I *think* RSeval/Rserve *may* be what you're looking for, but I am going 
off just an assumption by what you meant regarding "server"..

Rserve can be used as a client and server on both platforms (I 
personally have had more success running the server portion under linux, 
with linux and java clients in which the clients are a mixture of the 
package's java access *and* R client access to the rserver instance)

More info on rserve at: http://www.rforge.net/Rserve 

HTH,
cedrick
