title: How to Connect R to Oracle?
body: <p>I need to connect R to oracle and I have been unsuccessful so far. I downloaded two packages: RODBC &amp; RODM. </p>
  
  <p>This is the statement that I've been using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DB &lt;- odbcDriverConnect("DBIORES1",uid="mhala",pwd="XXXXXXX")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error in odbcDriverConnect("DBIORES1", uid = "mhalagan", pwd = "XXXXXXX") : 
    unused argument(s) (uid = "mhalagan", pwd = "XXXXXXX")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What information do I need to be able to connect to an oracle database? Am I using the correct package? </p>
