I’m trying to understand how RODBC determines the column types of a newly created

  • 0

I’m trying to understand how RODBC determines the column types of a newly created (Access) table? The R documentation of sqlSave is very cryptic: “types are selected by consulting arguments varTypes and typeInfo”. And no examples for this arguments. Where can I find a better explanation?

    No need to look at the sources. Use “getSqlTypeInfo(driver)” instead.

    > getSqlTypeInfo("ACCESS")
$double
[1] "DOUBLE"

$integer
[1] "INTEGER"

$character
[1] "VARCHAR(255)"

$logical
[1] "varchar(5)"
