RODBC, IODBC and Mac OS X
Hi. Another, slightly more updated, link to the same info is: http://bioconductor.org/, under the Developmental Packages under Software, contains Rdbi version 1.1.1 and RdbiPgSQL version 1.1.3. I am running them under MacOSX and they work beautifully. I am using it to pull data on PostgreSQL servers running on the same machine as well as a remote FreeBSD PostgreSQL server. I'm getting quite respectable performance to boot.

I have found them quite useful and I use them on Panther: http://www.bioconductor.org/repository/release1.5/package/html/Rdbi.html http://www.bioconductor.org/repository/release1.5/package/html/RdbiPgSQL.htm l Sean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Depiereux Constant" <constant.depiereux at aqte.be> To: <r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch> Sent: Saturday, March 12, 2005 5:21 PM Subject: [R] RODBC, IODBC and Mac OS X
Dear All, As some of you in the archive, i am experiencing problems in using RODBC with IODBC on Mac OS X Panther. I am currrently facing two problems. The first one is apparently linked with IODBC (according to returned R error message) although testing the database access from IODBC manager seems to work fine. The second is by far more radical, R purely and simply reports an error , blocks and I finally got a Mac OS X message. I browsed the archive without really finding a solution. Before spending lengthy hours on an operating system that I am currently discovering, I have therefore a simple question : DOES ANY BODY HAVE A COOKBOOK EXPLAINING HOW TO ACCESS - THRU ODBC - A POSTGRESQL DATABASE USING R ON MAC OS X PANTHER ? Thanks in advance for your help.
