I am trying to connect to an iHistorian Database. This database is a product of GE and it records process control information. Anyway, this database is configured with OLE DB drivers. I am curious if there is a way to connect to this database with R. Currently, R has a package called RODBC, but this package only connects to ODBC. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

  • Unfortunately you may be out of luck, seeing as OLE DB is now a deprecated API. I'd be surprised if iHistorian didn't support ODBC though, as it's pervasive and cross-platform. – Hong Ooi Jun 27 '13 at 02:29
  • Hi Hong, unfortunately after looking through manuals and computer files. iHistorian is only using OLE DB. I was curious whether I can embed C++/# code in my R code and use the OLE DB connection from the embedded code to get data. Or is this too much of a stretch? – GK89 Jun 28 '13 at 20:30
