[ESS] connection to Oracle does not work in ESS

[Vitalie Spinu]

Hi Stephen,

I doubt it's problem with ESS. Running R from emacs shell and with ESS should be
equivalent. Make sure that it's indeed the same R instance and RODBC what are
called in your experiments. Do you have a custom inferior-ess-r-program-name
setup?

Do you issue Rterm or R in the emacs shell?
