A disturbing behaviour of R: an import of data using RODBC library
(Windows 98, R 1.1.1) recognizes accented characters in variables
names but these can't be manipulated further. See below:
> library(Rodbc)
> ch<-odbcConnect("Paradox Files")
> pollut<-sqlFetch(ch,Pollutio)
> pollut
Mortalité Densité Pollution
1 82 600 110
2 97 960 140
3 76 570 90
......
> attach(pollut)
> summary(Pollution)
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
90 120 160 160 190 250
> summary(Mortalité)
Error: syntax error
Is there another solution than changing the names of the fields under
Paradox. Or RODBC package should be enhanced to automatically change
the accented characters?
