Hi,
A couple of thoughts:
(1) The channel RODBC is an S3 object, thus there's no proper S4 class
associated with it. From ?setOldClass:
....
Description:
Register an old-style (a.k.a. `S3') class as a formally defined
class. The 'Classes' argument is the character vector used as the
'class' attribute; in particular, if there is more than one
string, old-style class inheritance is mimicked. Registering via
'setOldClass' allows S3 classes to appear in method signatures,
and as a slot in an S4 class if a prototype is included.
...
(2) This question may be more appropriate for r-devel?
HTH,
