It looks like you are trying to use package DBI (without telling us). That
is of no use without a specific DBMS interface, e.g. packages RMySQL,
ROracle and RSQLite.
AFAIK, there is no DBI interface to PostgreSQL. RODBC works well, RJDBC
may well work (if Java works for your system) and there is a different
interface via Rdbi from (nowadays) the Bioconductor project.
