RStudio Professional Drivers#

RStudio makes it easy to connect to your data. RStudio Professional Drivers are ODBC data connectors for some of the most popular databases:

RStudio Professional Drivers help you:

Explore your databases using RStudio Workbench
Develop and deploy applications and reports that depend on databases to RStudio Connect
Use R with databases in the cloud or your production environment

RStudio offers ODBC drivers for many common data sources at no additional cost to current paying customers. These drivers are commercially licensed from Magnitude Simba and are covered by the RStudio Support Program. RStudio professional drivers may only be used with RStudio professional software and may not be used on a standalone basis or with other software. Use RStudio professional drives with the following products:

RStudio Team bundle
RStudio Workbench
RStudio Connect
Shiny Server Pro

We do not sell or offer RStudio Professional Drivers for use with our free and open-source server or desktop software and our license doesn't permit the drivers to be used with these products. Additionally, the RStudio Professional Drivers are tested against the R ODBC connection toolchain, namely the DBI and odbc R packages. Currently, RStudio Professional Drivers are not tested against Python packages.

Snowflake Preview Release

The compatibility assessment of the Snowflake Driver against various R packages is still underway.
Currently, this driver provides full ODBC support, but it may offer limited capabilities with certain packages like dplyr.
