Preferred Method for Reading in and Processing Access Database

2 messages · Jason Rupert, Michael Bibo

By any chance is there a preferred way to allow R to read in data from an Access Database and then also process that data?   

Thanks for any hints and tips since I have traditionally been working with csv file. 

Thanks again.

I find using package RODBC quite straightforward.  I usually create a query in 
Access to assemble the data I want from various tables, and then just access 
the query from R via RODBC.
