[R] connecting to Oracle

[whizvast]

I found an old Internet posting and it solved my problem. 
For those who is suffering from the same problem, try this:

channel <- odbcDriverConnect(connection="Driver={Microsoft ODBC for
Oracle};DSN=abc;UID=abc;PWD=abc", case = 'oracle')
x <- sqlQuery(channel, paste("select * from  db_name.tbl_name"))
