The following code example shows how to bind parameters to create parameterized statements.

Single-Use Statements

The sqlExecute function from RODBCext accepts an additional data frame for binding query parameters to values.

sqlExecute(
    cnx,
    query = "SELECT Worker_Reference_WID, Legal_Name_Last_Name FROM [CData].[Human_Resources].Workers WHERE Legal_Name_Last_Name = ?",
    data = data.frame("Morgan")
)

results <- sqlGetResults(cnx, max = 1000)
while (is.data.frame(results)) {
    for (row in 1:nrow(results)) {
        cat(paste("Worker_Reference_WID = ", results[row,]$Worker_Reference_WID, "\n"))
        cat(paste("Legal_Name_Last_Name = ", results[row,]$Legal_Name_Last_Name, "\n"))
    }
    results <- sqlGetResults(cnx, max = 1000)
}
