R talking to Oracle, ODBC drivers available ?
I believe that Oracle provides ODBC drivers for the server side--provided you have an Oracle administrator who can figure out how to install them. I couldn't find much documentation. For another commercial source see www.openlink.com (don't know if they have client drivers for Linux). -Don

[sorry, but this is a re-post - I forgot to set the subject line the first time around] Hello, I would like to access an Oracle database running on Solaris from R on my linux desktop. I have had a look at the R Data Import/Export manual, and downloaded RODBC and unixODBC, but I am still quite confused about how to proceed. It appears to me that I still need to get an Oracle ODBC driver, and the only one I can find is from Easysoft for 880 euros, which is not available for this project. Is there any free software which will enable R on linux to talk to Oracle on Solaris (both reading and writing data) ? My R setup is as follows: platform i386-pc-linux-gnu arch i386 os linux-gnu system i386, linux-gnu status major 1 minor 5.1 year 2002 month 06 day 17 language R Thanks, Luke Whitaker.
