title: Connecting R to Microsoft SQL Server Using RODBC
body: <p>I need help connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using an <strong>RODBC</strong> connection.
  Here are some details:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Server Name: DC_SQL01 
  Table Name: LiborTable
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Once I have the data in R I know what to do from there. I have used </p>
  
  <pre><code>install.packages("RODBC")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to get the connectivity tools I need and that was straightforward.</p>
  
  <p>Beyond that I am not sure of the next steps. I am assuming I need to set a new User Data Source and create the <strong>ODBC</strong> to the database I want to query. </p>
