The following is the third set of demo code from my video on using R in the Oracle Database. Check out the video before using the following code. The blog post for the video will be updated to contain links to all blog posts that have the various demo code.
The following code is illustrates some simple examples of using Oracle R Enterprise. In these example you will see how to connect to the Oracle Database, how to query and process some of the tables and views in the Oracle Database, how to check that you are working with objects in the database, how to move data to the database and query it.
