Dear All, The following script works in sql server or toad for sql server.
SELECT MD.CallSign ,HD.WBAN ,TimeStamp_Local ,ref_density ,ref_dewpoint ,ref_dir ,ref_precip ,ref_press ,ref_rh ,ref_temperature_avg ,ref_ws_avg ,ref_wetbulb FROM ASOS.dbo.HourlyData HD left outer join ASOS.dbo.ASOS_MetaData MD on MD.WBAN = HD.WBAN where CallSign = 'BOS' order by TimeStamp_Local ASC and the result is a table of the data corresponding to those variables listed above But, in R it doesn't work with the following commands ch1 <- odbcConnect(dsn="COLOMSQ", uid="DataPull", pwd="Puldata") p3<-sqlQuery(ch1,'SELECT MD.CallSign ,HD.WBAN ,TimeStamp_Local ,ref_density ,ref_dewpoint ,ref_dir ,ref_precip ,ref_press ,ref_rh ,ref_temperature_avg ,ref_ws_avg ,ref_wetbulb FROM ASOS.dbo.HourlyData HD left outer join ASOS.dbo.ASOS_MetaData MD on MD.WBAN = HD.WBAN where CallSign = BOS order by TimeStamp_Local ASC') close(ch1) and p3 results in [1] "08S01 0 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure" [2] "[RODBC] ERROR: Could not SQLExecDirect 'SELECT MD.CallSign\n ,HD.WBAN\n ,TimeStamp_Local\n ,ref_density\n ,ref_dewpoint\n ,ref_dir\n ,ref_precip\n ,ref_press\n ,ref_rh\n ,ref_temperature_avg\n ,ref_ws_avg\n ,ref_wetbulb\n FROM ASOS.dbo.HourlyData HD\n left outer join ASOS.dbo.ASOS_MetaData MD on MD.WBAN = HD.WBAN\nwhere CallSign = BOS order by TimeStamp_Local ASC'" with no data Any idea ?
