RODBC: sqlFetch and its argument sqtable
It's not designed to work like that. Note that RODBC is in Devel on CRAN and not currently maintained AFAIK.

Calling function "sqlFetch" in library(RODBC) and specifying a character
string as 2nd argument, I get an error I don't understand:
library(RODBC)
channel <- odbcConnect("mydatabase.mdb", case="msaccess")
sqlFetch(channel, "mytable")
# this works fine
tabname <- "mytable"; sqlFetch(channel, tabname)
# this gives an error:
# Error in sqlFetch(channel, tabname) : tabname :table not found on channel

Shouldn't the second way work as well, or if not, why not?
