A DBI-compliant R package for connecting to ODBC databases, offering a fast and standardized interface to SQL Server, Oracle, Databricks, Snowflake, and more.
What is odbc?
odbc is an R package that provides a DBI-compliant interface to ODBC drivers, allowing R users to connect to and interact with various databases like SQL Server, Oracle, Databricks, and Snowflake. It solves the problem of slow or outdated database connectivity in R by offering a faster, standardized alternative to packages like RODBC, built on the efficient nanodbc C++ library.
R developers and data analysts who need to query and manipulate data from ODBC-compliant databases such as SQL Server, Oracle, Databricks, or Snowflake within their R workflows.
Developers choose odbc for its significant performance improvements over legacy alternatives, its adherence to the DBI standard for consistent database interactions, and its seamless integration with tools like dbplyr for streamlined SQL generation from R code.
