Using LDAP connection

Sean,

Thanks for quick reply!  The link you provide was exactly what I was looking for.  I now have it working without the use of TNSNAMES.ORA.
Need to make sure that you are using the DB Service name in the ODBC configuration.

Subject: Re: [R-sig-DB] Using LDAP connection

Hello,

I am trying to find an R package that will allow me to connect to Oracle
using LDAP. ?Can someone help direct me to such a package or
documentation.

RCURL does mention LDAP, but is not very specific on how to use LDAP
with sql statements.

Hi, Scott

I'd read up on ROracle or RODBC.  The LDAP piece is behind the Oracle
piece, I think, so you should not have to do anything special for
connecting.

I'm not sure how far this will get you, but you could take a look here
for one (of several) tutorials:
