New maintainer for DBI package
Hi Hadley, all I also want to add my "thanks" to Hadley for taking over the DBI. There are interesting and important features yet to be added to the DBI (as otheres have already pointed out), in addition to improvements to the existing code. I'm looking forward for the discussions of possible enhancements, etc. Regards, David

Hi all, This is just a quick note to let you know that I've taken over the maintainership of the DBI package, and it has a new home at https://github.com/rstats-db/dbi I'll be using the mailing list as a venue to discuss some changes I'd like to make to DBI. The goal is to make the minimal set of changes in order to: * add new generics currently defined by individual packages (e.g. dbApply, dbBeginTransaction, dbSendPreparedQuery) * rationalise escaping, moving from the current blacklist based system, to one where every identifier is escaped automatically using the rules of the host database * start developing a common test suite that can be applied to any package the implements the DBI package. I'll start some discussions on these topics next week, but please also feel free to comment on any of the smaller issues listed at https://github.com/rstats-db/DBI/issues Hadley -- Chief Scientist, RStudio http://had.co.nz/
