From: Samir Mishra <samir.mishra at norkom.com> Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 12:05:41 -0000 Does anyone have any experience using R to pull/push data from an ODBC compliant database? I'm working on a small project and am undecided about whether to use just R or use some other software for extracting and transforming.
I've been using it quite a bit recently (and there's a new manual on `R Data Import/Export' being written for 1.2.0 that you can see a draft of at http://developer.r-project.org/R-data.pdf, and also an early manual based on MySQL there). The RODBC package seems to have quite a number of users. There's a reported bug on R-bugs with data frames with NAs in that might be worth knowing about.
