Connecting R To Teradata VOLATILE TABLE - r

Question

I am using R to try and connect to a teradata database and am running into difficulties
The steps in the process are below
1) Create Connection
2) Create a VOLATILE TABLE
3) Load information from a data frame into the Volatile table
Here is where it fails, giving me an error message
Error in sqlSave(conn, mydata, tablename = "TEMP", rownames = FALSE, :
first argument is not an open RODBC channel
The code is below
# Import Data From Text File and remove duplicates
mydata = read.table("Keys.txt")
mydata.unique = unique(mydata)
strSQL.TempTable = "CREATE VOLATILE TABLE TEMP………[Table Details]"
"UNIQUE PRIMARY INDEX(index)"
"ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;"
# Connect To Database
conn <- tdConnect('Teradata')
# Execute Temp Table
tdQuery(strSQL.TempTable)
sqlSave(conn, mydata, tablename = "TEMP ",rownames = FALSE, append = TRUE)
Can anyone help, Is it closing off the connection before I can upload the information into the Table?

Answer 1

My Mistake, I have been confusing libraries
Basically the lines
# Connect To Database
conn <- tdConnect('Teradata')
# Execute Temp Table
tdQuery(strSQL.TempTable)
sqlSave(conn, mydata, tablename = "TEMP ",rownames = FALSE, append = TRUE)
can all be replaced by this
# Connect To Database
channel <- odbcConnect('Teradata')
# Execute Temp Table
sqlQuery(channel, paste(strSQL.TempTable))
sqlSave(channel, mydata, table = "TEMP",rownames = FALSE, append = TRUE)
Now I'm being told, i don't have access to do this but this is another question for another forum
Thanks
