Dear list -
I am having a problem using RODBC to access records from tables in a
PostgreSQL database.
There is no problem establishing the connection using chnl <-
odbcConnect (dsn= ... etc.
The DSN seems to be properly set up using the PostgreSQL Unicode
ODBC driver, and
sqlTables(chnl) works OK and produces a list of tables in the
database (they are all in a schema called 'source'). But
seiz.df <- sqlFetch(chnl, 'source.MAIN')
fails with the error message
Error in odbcTableExists(channel, sqtable) :
'source.main': table not found on channel
This occurs even though the table 'MAIN' is listed in schema
'source' in the output of sqlTables(chnl).
I am using PostgreSQL version 9.0 and the database is installed on a
local server (localhost) on a PC running Windows 7 and R2.12.1.
I have tried version 8.4 of PostgreSQL with the same results.
The local setup is for development purposes and the final database
will eventually be installed on a remote server.
A further bit of info: I am able to access another PostgreSQL
database on a remote server for a different project with no
problems. However, the server is running version 7.4 of PostgreSQL.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Bob Burn
