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
0
Shouldn't the second way work as well, or if not, why not?

RODBC: sqlFetch and its argument sqtable
2 messages · RINNER Heinrich, Brian Ripley
It's not designed to work like that. Note that RODBC is in Devel on CRAN and not currently maintained AFAIK.
