A nice T-SQl piece of code to split a string with FTparser in SQL Server 2008+: Split string with sys.dm_fts_parser

Also, I learned how to read data from SQL Server into RMarkdown:

library(RODBC)
cn <- odbcDriverConnect(connection="Driver={SQL Server};server=.;database=test;trusted_connection=yes;")

## Warning in odbcDriverConnect(connection = "Driver={SQL
## Server};server=.;database=test;trusted_connection=yes;"): [RODBC] ERROR:
## state 08001, code 17, message [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared
## Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

## Warning in odbcDriverConnect(connection = "Driver={SQL
## Server};server=.;database=test;trusted_connection=yes;"): [RODBC] ERROR:
## state 01000, code 2, message [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared
## Memory]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).

## Warning in odbcDriverConnect(connection = "Driver={SQL
## Server};server=.;database=test;trusted_connection=yes;"): ODBC connection
## failed

myQuery <- sqlQuery(cn, "SELECT * FROM    MyTable ")

## Error in sqlQuery(cn, "SELECT * FROM    MyTable "): first argument is not an open RODBC channel

myQuery

## Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos): object 'myQuery' not found
