[R-sig-DB] RODBC on 64bit Windows

[顾小波]

Ripley,
	Thanks, lucky enough we are working with IBM DB2 and Greenplum, which both have 64bit ODBC dirvers.
BTW, there are three ways to work with R - Greenplum integration:
1. via RODBC package, which now has a 64 bit version
2. via RPostgres interface, which seems does not a 64 bit version yet.
3. via plr for Greenplum, which only supports a few kinds of functionality, and supports only specific versions of R.

Do you have any idea about the advantages and disadvantages of each, and the differences among them?

But there has been a 64-bit Windows package at 
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows64/contrib/2.11/RODBC_1.3-1.zip 
for several months, so what are you asking for?  (Note that 64-bit 
ODBC drivers are in short supply, but I have tested MySQL and 
sqliteodbc has recently gained a 64-bit binary.)

It is also simple to install RODBC from its sources.

Please note that the posting guide has to say about that.
