Summary: SQL-Interface

(1) using Michael Lapsley's ODBC interface
    which seems now available for Unix,
    see www.ndirect.co.uk/~mlapsley as RODBC-0.1a.[tgz | zip]
    BTW, does anyone plan to port it to Windows?

Prof Ripley has helped me with making the code win compatable.
(it does not really need porting as such, as that is the whole point of ODBC.
It just has to be able to recognise the appropriate headers etc
for the different compiler environments.)


He has been able to compile it but has not yet tested the dll.
Assuming it works, I'll be tidying up and releasing it hopefully on 
CRAN.

(5) use the contributed package RmSQL from CRAN to access the freely
available mSQL
    (close to commercial MySQL)

FYI:  mSQL is more commercial than MySQL as far as I know:  the only thing you
cannot do with MySQL is sell it.
