Hello Everyone, I'm still quite new to R and am having trouble reading SQL Server Tables using RODBC. I've looked though the RODBC documentation as well as material I found online and in the book "Data Manipulation with R," but I just can't quite seem to get things to work. Right now, I have code that looks something like: channel <- odbcDriverConnect ("Driver=SQL Server; Server=Fred; Connection=xx.x.x.xxx Database=mydatabasename; uid=pmiller; pwd=password; Trusted_Connection=FALSE;") When I run this code, I get the following error: [RODBC] ERROR: state IM002, code 0, message [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified I do seem to be able to make a connection if I use: channel <- odbcDriverConnect("driver=SQL Server; server=Fred") Here, I haven't specified enough information but am allowed to do so subsequently using the SQL Server Login. Can anyone show me how to rewrite the code above to make the connection I need without using the SQL Server Login? Thanks, Paul
