MonetDB.R connector

Hannes Mühleisen 
Hello everybody,

We would like to announce the immediate availability of the first native connector for the open source database MonetDB [1] in R.  The connector is available on CRAN [2] and implements the R DBI [3]. MonetDB is particularly suited to support statistics due to its column-oriented storage model that allows fast bulk operations. 

We invite everybody to try this combination and are looking forward to your feedback.

Best,

Hannes M?hleisen
