Re ading from a Database

I'm quite new to R and have limited experience. What Im trying to do is very important as it is part of my final year project; or more so the central idea behind it. I will be creating BibTex files to enter into a mySQL database. I then need to perform operations on this DB like 'return studies similar to x'. It's really just getting a start at this that I'm having trouble with and if anyone could offer any advice whatsoever I would be more than grateful. Many thanks.
Hmmm. This sounds much more like a database question than
an R question. R has various interfaces (RmySQL, RODBC, etc)
for interfaces to relational databases. Section 4 of the
R data import/export manual gives quite a bit of detail.
I think that if you need more information on SQL queries etc.
you need to start with a local source (who is the advisor
for your project?)
good luck
