If you are interested in trying a new package for postgresql access, take a look at 'rpg' (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rpg/index.html). I wrote if primarily for my own use and for my students (rcpp + roxygen2 + rstudio now makes package writing ridiculously fast and painless). The design goal was convenience not generality so its not a replacement for the DBI stuff. THK

Hi Tim, Thanks for bringing this to the attention of the community. I use R to interact with PostgreSQL quite alot, so I've just been glancing at the manual you've wrote. Nice work. I wonder though - what would you say are the main advantages of using this over something like RPostgreSQL which I use at the moment? Cheers James

I attempted to make it easier to use, mainly be having the connection and result pointers held as static data outside of R. For writing infrastructure and cross-db apps, DBI/RPostgreSQL is better. rpg might be preferred by some for interactive and lightweight applications. It fits more how I tend to interact with PostgresSQL. YMMV. THK On Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 11:52 AM, James David Smith <
