Maybe look more generally through the packages depending on and importing 
from DBI (https://cran.r-project.org/package=DBI) to see what is available 
- there are many more than RMySQL.

and use the Official Statistics and HPC Task Views:

https://cran.r-project.org/view=OfficialStatistics

https://cran.r-project.org/view=HighPerformanceComputing

to see how typical workflows (not necessarily DB-based) can be handled. 
The HPC TV has a section on large memory and out-of-memory approaches. If 
your data are spatial in raster format, the raster package provides some 
out-of-memory functionality. In sf, spatial vector data may be read from 
databases too.
