Have you looked at these two packages that, together, provide Postgres access and do not require ODBC? I have found them quite useful and I use them on Panther:

Subject: [R] RODBC, IODBC and Mac OS X



Dear All,

As some of you in the archive, i am experiencing problems in using RODBC with IODBC on Mac OS X Panther.

I am currrently facing two problems.

The first one is apparently linked with IODBC (according to returned R error message) although testing the database access from IODBC manager seems to work fine.

The second is by far more radical, R purely and simply reports an error , blocks and I finally got a Mac OS X message.

I browsed the archive without really finding a solution. Before spending lengthy hours on an operating system that I am currently discovering, I have therefore a simple question :

DOES ANY BODY HAVE A COOKBOOK EXPLAINING HOW TO ACCESS - THRU ODBC - A POSTGRESQL DATABASE USING R ON MAC OS X PANTHER ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
