Package RODBC implements ODBC database connectivity.
See the package manual for details of installation and use. (This
will show up as a vignette, and can be accessed via
RShowDoc("RODBC", package="RODBC")
.)
Two groups of functions are provided. The mainly internal
odbc*
commands implement low-level access to the ODBC functions
of similar name. The sql*
functions operate at a higher level
to read, save, copy and manipulate data between data frames and SQL
tables. Many connections can be open at once to any combination of
DSN/hosts.
