ODBC Driver and DSN

toaster requires Aster database ODBC driver installed. You can download it here for all major platforms and follow instructions for installing it. This is how installed ODBC Driver for Aster looks in Windows:

For each database define a separate ODBC data source:

toaster depends on package RODBC and uses its connection object to access Aster database:

     dsn = "MyAsterDbDSN"
     conn = odbcConnect(dsn)
     odbcGetInfo(conn)

Or connecting without defining an ODBC data source (only Aster ODBC driver must be installed):

conn = odbcDriverConnect(connection="driver={Aster ODBC Driver};server=xx.xx.xx.xx;port=2406;database=beehive;uid=beehive;pwd=beehive",
                         interpretDot=TRUE)
