Sig-DBers,
We're currently trying to figure how to let R (on Solaris) talk to ybase (on
Solaris). As there is (AFAIK) no R DBI interface package for Sybase, we
tried RODBC with unixODBC and FreeTDS. We got halfway there -- we connect
and get table info, but no actual content.
We now have two choices: debug the both the FreeTDS and the unixODBC layer,
or start fresh against CTlib.
Has anybody here tried either? Or is there a fundamental reason I am
missing about why R doesn't play with Sybase?
Thanks for any and all pointers, Dirk
