computer name
This depends on your OS.
on Windows,
Sys.getenv('computername')
should work.
Sys.info()['nodename']
should work on all systems.

Is there an r function that will be able to identify the computer the

I have some common code that I run on several computers and each has a
database with a different server name - although the content is
identical.
I need to set thisServer depending on which machine the code is running
on...
something like...
if(pcname = pc1) thisServer = 'SERVER1'
if(pcname = pc2) thisServer = 'SERVER2'
conn<- odbcDriverConnect("driver=SQL
Server;database=x;server=thisServer;")
...rest of code will now run OK.
I know I could set the DSN names the same and use...
conn<- odbcConnect("commonDSNname")
but I was wondering if there was another way

Does Sys.info()["nodename"] give you what you want? David Scott
