Sorry for the simple question: What is the "standard" package for interfacing with PostGreSQL (most up-to-date)? There appear to be at least three with different names: Rdbi.PgSQL RdbiPgSQL (available as part of BioConductor) RPgSQL (On the home page, no longer maintained in favor or Rdbi) The R and database developer page (developer.r-project.org/db) was last updated in 2001, it appears. The R Import-export manual addresses RPgSQL, but not the other flavors mentioned above. I am sure I have missed some key page stating the obvious.... Thanks in advance for clarification. Sean

You can also embed R in Postgres using PL/R, found here: joeconway.com/plr HTH, Joe
