R/S Database Interface

For details on the proposed interface see the document A Common Interface to Relational Databases from R and S -- A Proposal.

Implementations

As of 29 October 2001, we have the following implementations.
For R:

An interface to MySQL:

RMySQL_0.2.3.tar.gz for R versions 1.1.x.

RMySQL_0.4-1.tar.gz for R versions 1.2.0 and later.

RMySQL_0.4-3.tar.gz for R versions 1.2.0 and later. (This is the manual.)

An interace to the embeddable SQLite database engine:

The SQLite embedding engine is a public-domain, very light-weight SQL engine that implements a very decent subset of the SQL 92 standard. This package provides a copy of Version 2.0.3 SQLite (from its web site above) and an interface as per the RS-DBI proposal.

RSQLite_0.2-1.tar.gz for R version 1.3.0 and later.

For S4/Splus (version 5.0 or later):

An interface to MySQL:

SMySQL_0.4.0.tar.gz. (This is the manual.)

An interface to Oracle:

SOracle_0.3.0.tar.gz
