Why not?
R has a 'Data Import/Export Manual', with many suggestions.

Who said DSNs could be URLs ... and they are not the names of a 
database either.

library(fortunes); fortune(14)

Prof Brian Ripley,
Even the question of modifying the database name:
channel <- odbcConnect("E2D00007.DB")

Thanks,

Let me say it again:

A DSN is **NOT** a database name.  Please do study the RODBC manual, 
and ask no more really disrespectful questions here.
