Informix database
There is no DBI implementation for Informix. I would appreciate some pointers to R's Java extension, if exists. I already have a solution for S-PLUS. I am interested in finding one for R to compare the two, otherwise my company will go with S-PLUS. On Thu, 18 Nov 2004 15:45:25 +0100 (CET), Vito Ricci

Hi, see DBI: R/S-Plus Database Interface, maybe it could help you: http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/Conferences/DSC-2001/Proceedings/HothornJamesRipley.pdf I found: Other Database Connections from S-Plus Depending on the platform it's running, S-Plus provides access to some DBMS through the importData/exportData functions. Under Microsoft Windows you may import/export data through ODBC; under Solaris (and only Solaris) you may import data from Informix, Oracle, and Sybase. See also the function executeSQL. Best regards Vito You wrote: We use Informix database. I was able to connect to the database with S-PLUS by using its CONNECT/Java through the JDBC driver. How can I connect to Informix with R, wither using JDBC or any other method? we run Linux so I prefer a method other than ODBC.
