Connect with R/RStudio to an Oracle DB using Wallet

Question

H, I'm quite a newbie on this.

I have a Unix machine with R/RStudio and Python installed. I need to connect to an Oracle DB in a secure way. I have created a wallet with mkstore given by Oracle and with Python and cx_Oracle library I have no problems in connecting to this DB, but how can I afford the same result with R?

Answer 1

There's an example in the ROracle doc :

## Create connection authenticated with external credentials.
con <- dbConnect(drv, username ="", password="", external_credentials = TRUE)

You'll probably need to pass dbname too.
