For R: .Machine$sizeof.pointer will return 4 if R is 32 bit and 8 if 64 bit. If R is 64 bit, then unless you changed something, RODBC should be compiled and installed as 64 bit as well. However, if you could successfully connect to the Oracle server, I don't believe that this is a 32/64 bit mis-match. I am fairly sure that the initial odbcConnect() call would fail if the complete tool chain was not 64 bit. So if you are getting an error from sqlQuery() after successfully connecting, something else is likely going on. A successful odbcConnect() would also point to most other Oracle components, config files and environment variables being set properly. If you used the iSQL tool provided by the unixODBC folks, I would also just verify that you can connect using the sqlplus tool provided by Oracle to connect and run the same query that you are attempting inside R with RODBC. Not sure where else to point you for the moment.
