Re: [R] RODBC query on one line
Thanks Brian and Sean, Works well and solves another problem I had: changing the same condition in a series of related but different queries, by making only one change in a variable that is then used in all the queries.

Re: [R] RODBC query on one line
I often use paste to build up SQL queries into line-sized chunks, but this is only a convenience and not required. It does improve readability and maintainability, in my opinion.

Re: [R] RODBC query on one line
Not true: you have to submit the query as one element of a character vector, not the same thing at all. You *can* use paste() to assemble it.

[R] RODBC query on one line
Dear R-helpers, When I use sqlQuery in the package RODBC, I cannot break the line, but have to write the entire SQL Query on the same line. Is this expected behaviour? It is definitely workable, but makes the queries a slightly difficult to read and edit. I'm using R 1.9.1 and RODBC 1.0-4 on Windows Server 2003 and querying a Sybase database.
