Thanks in advance,
Hello,
which error message do you get, what does not work?
Just a blind guess:
Maybe the problem lies within the % - Sign? Try to double it - ...LIKE
"1965%%"
Here an working RODBC - Example:
library(RODBC)
channel <- odbcConnect("myODBC", uid="myUser", case="tolower")
sql <- "select x,y,z from mytable"
myresult<- (sqlQuery(channel, sql))
Best wishes,
Albin
