title: Connect R and Teradata using JDBC
body: <p>I´m trying to connect R and Teradata using RJDBC. </p>
  
  <p>I´ve found this <a href="http://www.rforge.net/RJDBC/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">link</a> that has an example using mysql, but i´m nos sure how to do the same with teradata.</p>
  
  <pre><code>library(RJDBC)
  drv &lt;- JDBC("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver",
             "/etc/jdbc/mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar",
             identifier.quote="`")
  conn &lt;- dbConnect(drv, "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test", "user", "pwd")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I´ve downloaded this driver: 
  <a href="http://downloads.teradata.com/download/connectivity/jdbc-driver" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://downloads.teradata.com/download/connectivity/jdbc-driver</a>
  But i´m not sure where i should reference the directory.</p>
  
  <p>I know there is a teradataR package <a href="https://github.com/nonsleepr/teradataR" rel="nofollow noreferrer">out there</a>, but i don´t know if it really works with the R 3.0.0.</p>
  
  <p>For the time being i´m just interesting in pulling data out of the database. Something as simple as <code>SELECT * FROM table</code>. The problem is RODBC is very slow...</p>
  
  <p>Are there other options for doing this task?</p>
