Wow, this is as much hand-holding as one can expect, and for a R newbie it is unbelievable and invaluable! Thanks again for all this help Marc!
Here is the screen print of my entire R session: > .Machine$sizeof.pointer [1] 8 > > library(RODBC) > conn <- odbcConnect(dsn='qdblocal', uid = "ciqxf", pwd = "ciqxf") > data <- sqlQuery(conn, "select sysdate from dual", rows_at_time = 1) Error in .Call(C_RODBCFetchRows, attr(channel, "handle_ptr"), max, buffsize, : negative length vectors are not allowed > debug(odbcFetchRows) > data <- sqlQuery(conn, "select sysdate from dual", rows_at_time = 1) debugging in: odbcFetchRows(channel, max = max, buffsize = buffsize, nullstring = nullstring, believeNRows = believeNRows) debug: { if (!odbcValidChannel(channel)) stop("first argument is not an open RODBC channel") .Call(C_RODBCFetchRows, attr(channel, "handle_ptr"), max, buffsize, as.character(nullstring), believeNRows) } Browse[2]> ls() [1] "believeNRows" "buffsize" "channel" "max" "nullstring" Browse[2]> believeNRows [1] TRUE Browse[2]> buffsize [1] 1000 Browse[2]> channel RODBC Connection 1 Details: case=nochange DSN=qdblocal UID=ciqxf PWD=****** DBQ=QDBLOCAL DBA=W APA=T EXC=T FEN=T QTO=T FRC=10 FDL=10 LOB=T RST=T BTD=F BNF=F BAM=IfAllSuccessful NUM=NLS DPM=F MTS=T MDI=F CSR=F FWC=F FBS=64000 TLO=0 MLD=0 ODA=F Browse[2]> max [1] 0 Browse[2]> nullstring [1] NA Browse[2]> Q > I hope it offers more info. Looking at the code of RODBC.c, could the folliwng in the RODBCFetchRows method throw an error if for some reason the value of stat is <0?
