Hi!
   
I'm using the RODBC packages for connecting R and a mysql database.
To do this, i use the function odbcConnect(dsn,uid,pwd).
Is it possible to read the connection paramters from the odbc.ini file within R?
+Especially I'm interested in uid/pwd parameters because of security reasons.   

Thanks
