Hello!
I have a short question: Is it possible to create a
(non-existing) Access database using R (and if yes,
how)? I need to create a new database and then insert
a few tables into it.
Short answer: yes, if you are using Windows (you did not say).
Slightly longer answer 1:
If you have the ODBC drivers installed,
library(RODBC)
ch - odbcDriverConnect(Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)})
will allow you to create a database and select it.
Slightly longer answer 2:
Use DCOM to control Access if you have that installed. I'll leave you to
do your own homework on this one.
