Dear R-users, I tried to export a dataframe form R to Access, that way:
library(RODBC) channel <- odbcConnectAccess("d:/test.mdb") sqlSave(channel=channel, flore, rownames=F) odbcClose(channel) But I always got this error message: Erreur dans sqlSave(channel = channel, flore, "Florist") : [RODBC] ERROR: Could not SQLExecDirect 37000 -3553 [Microsoft][Pilote ODBC Microsoft Access] Erreur de syntaxe dans la définition de champ. Note that I succeeded in exporting this dataframe into Excel and then import Excel file from Access. I tried to find where the problem comes from by exporting columns one by one, as follows: library(RODBC) canal <- odbcConnectAccess("d:/test.mdb") for (i in names(flore)) { cat(i) sqlSave(channel=canal, dat=flore[i]) } odbcClose(canal) I could export all columns but one, named "date", which consists of dates. I tried to export this column as POSIX, as Date and even as character, but without success. I still had the same error message: dateErreur dans sqlSave(channel = canal, dat = flore[i]) : [RODBC] ERROR: Could not SQLExecDirect 37000 -3553 [Microsoft][Pilote ODBC Microsoft Access] Erreur de syntaxe dans la définition de champ. I also tried with varTypes, though I am not sure how to use this argument correctly. I did: sqlSave(channel=canal, dat=flore, varTypes=c(date="Date")) sqlSave(channel=canal, dat=flore, varTypes=c(date="Date/Heure")) But still the same error message. Maybe it's in Windows, but I don't understand...
