# Note: for improved security, read connection string from a file, such as
# conString <- readLines("conString.txt")

conString <- "Driver=Teradata;DBCNAME=myDb;Database=test;Uid=tester;pwd=pwd;"
outOdbcDS <- RxOdbcData(table = "MyClaims",           
                       connectionString = conString,
                       useFastRead=TRUE)
