I need to connect R to oracle and I have been unsuccessful so far. I downloaded two packages: RODBC & RODM.

This is the statement that I've been using: DB <- odbcDriverConnect("DBIORES1",uid="mhala",pwd="XXXXXXX")

But I get this error: Error in odbcDriverConnect("DBIORES1", uid = "mhalagan", pwd = "MHALAGAN2011") : unused argument(s) (uid = "mhalagan", pwd = "MHALAGAN2011")

What information do I need to be able to connect to an oracle database? Am I using the correct package?
