Dear friends,
there is a serious problem with RODBC on R from 2.6.2 to 2.8.0 on a postgresql
8.3 database.
Let's say we define an empty dsn called "test", with user "postgres" and
password "none". We test the connection with another application, and it
works properly.
When you call the database using RODBC, you get the following:
> odbcConnect("test","postgres","none")
*** buffer overflow detected ***: /usr/lib64/R/bin/exec/R terminated
