OK, thanks for the hint! I just wanted to install the build-deps for php5-odbc but then it wanted to deinstall a couple of things: stiller:~/tmp# LANG=en_EN apt-get build-dep php5-odbc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: flex-old libdb3-dev libgnome-dev libmysqlclient12-dev flex-old and libmysqlclient12-dev were build-deps of unixodbc which I rebuilt earlier today. I guess that's the problem. So I would like to focus on RODBC: > > but if I use the correct column name, it returns an empty set > > > > query <- "select plate from plates" > > > tables <- sqlQuery(channel,query,errors=TRUE) > > > tables > > character(0) > > > odbcGetErrMsg(channel) > > character(0) > > > although the same query issued with the mysql command line client (and > > same username and password) gives 1202 rows. > > And what happens if you issue the query using the isql commandline tool? Then it also gives 1202 rows! So it seems to be a coincidence that both RODBC and php5-odbc are messed up on my system. I didn't know isql so far, although I was looking for something like this - it's great! I am just rebuilding R with the nostrip option because this is what I am really interested in. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
