I believe that Oracle provides ODBC drivers for the server side--provided you have an Oracle administrator who can figure out how to install them. I couldn't find much documentation.

For another commercial source see www.openlink.com (don't know if they have client drivers for Linux).

Hello,

I would like to access an Oracle database running on Solaris from
R on my linux desktop. I have had a look at the R Data Import/Export
manual, and downloaded RODBC and unixODBC, but I am still quite confused
about how to proceed. It appears to me that I still need to get an Oracle
ODBC driver, and the only one I can find is from Easysoft for 880 euros,
which is not available for this project.

Is there any free software which will enable R on linux to talk to Oracle
on Solaris (both reading and writing data) ?

My R setup is as follows:

platform i386-pc-linux-gnu
arch i386 os linux-gnu system i386, linux-gnu status major 1 minor 5.1 year 2002 month 06 day 17 language R
Thanks,

Luke Whitaker.
