Dear Users
I am new to R. I'm trying to make a connection to Microsoft SQL Server via
R.
How can I find the correct syntax to make the connection? The Help pdf file
has an example for mySql but there's isnt much on SQL Server.
Please help.
I am trying the following code
library(RODBC)
con<-odbcConnect(dbname,hostname)
How do I specify the driver,userid,password etc?
Well, you specify the DSN and other details in your Windows settings
(somewhere within the control panel) - given your OS is Windows?
If you make a call to connect to that DSN, you will be asked for username and
password given you haven't specified it with the DSN in your Windows
settings.

The process of setting up the DSN name etc for Windows (albeit for MySQL,
but the change for SQL Server is pretty obvious) is given in the document:
