Basic requirements of using ORE

ORE = Oracle R Enterprise

To use ORE, we need to install

  • ORE Client
  • ORE Server

Here is my test:

1. ORE Client

It allows you to connect to Oracle database from a R console.

The special R console is a command line executable with the name ore.

ore
library(ORE)
ore.connect("","orcl","localhost","",type="ORACLE", all=TRUE)

Here orcl=SID, the port is 1521 if you do not specify.

Here is the link to the documentation:

2. ORE Server

The remote database need to have the R Enterprise server.

Installing Oracle R Enterprise Server

Otherwise, you will get the error:

Error: Oracle R Enterprise Server is not available
