Dear R Experts, I have written a following function :- myfunction<- function(servername,dbname,dbtablename){ library(RODBC) channel <- odbcDriverConnect("driver=SQL Server;server=servername") initdata<- sqlQuery(channel,paste("select * from dbname .. dbtablename")) return(dim(initdata)) } I have written this function which has input parameters like servername ,dbname and dbtable to connect to Ms SQL server 2005 and get data from the table. Now when I run this function using the following command
myfunction("01wh155073","test_DB","test_vikrant") The variable initdata should contain all the data. But it does not contain any data and dim(initdata)) is NULL. I dont know how to pass the strings as parameters in the function. Do I have done this correctly? If I run the same commands directly from the command line I get the expected data. library(RODBC) channel <- odbcDriverConnect("driver=SQL Server;server=01wh155073") initdata<- sqlQuery(channel,paste("select * from test_DB .. test_vikrant")) dim(initdata) Then the initdata contains the data in the table "test_vikrant". My question is there a way to write above in a function which contains the above parameters.
