The plan ist to import an Access database into R to filter out what I need to make statistical analysis. A colleague suggested me the following code:
library(Hmisc)
d <- mdb.get('140410_db_vegBY1.mdb')
#(data under #https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ra588lailweynrq/AACRVqMKWtd9Zz7fa94O9CAUa)
# ERROR: sh: mdb-tables: command not found
# Fehler in system(paste("mdb-tables -1", file), intern = TRUE) :
# Fehler bei der Ausführung des Kommandos
After my search I started to install mdb tools on my mac OS X 10.9.2 following this link: http://automatthew.wordpress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-compile-mdbtools-on-mac-os-x-10-4-and-10-5/#comment-124 But it didn't work but the thread seems to be inactive. Can somebody help me?
The following steps worked for me.
Hmisc
package for R. mdbtools
version 0.7.1
by homebrew
: brew install mdbtools
. Use mdb.get()
function in the Hmisc
package to read .mdb
files into R:
library(Hmisc) df <- mdb.get('file.mdb')
Here is my setup and package versions:
> sessionInfo()
R version 3.2.2 (2015-08-14)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit)
Running under: OS X 10.11.1 (El Capitan)
locale:
[1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8
attached base packages:

other attached packages:

I should mention that I first tried to install mdbtools
from source to no avail. I suspect that it was because some dependencies were not installed. See https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools for more information on the dependencies.
