I recently put several packages for time series databases on CRAN. The main package, TSdbi, provides a common interface to time series databases. The objective is to define a standard interface so users can retrieve time series data from various sources with a simple, common, set of commands, and so programs can be written to be portable with respect to the data source. The SQL implementations also provide a database table design, so users needing to set up a time series database have a reasonably complete way to do this easily. The interface provides for a variety of options with respect to the representation of time series in R. There is also a (not yet well tested) mechanism to handle multilingual data documentation. -TSdbi is the main package. -TSMySQL, TSPostgreSQL, and TSSQLite provide interfaces for these three SQL databases (using RMySQL, RSQLite, and RPostgreSQL). -TSodbc provides an interface using RODBC (tested only with a PostgreSQL server). -TSfame provides an interface to Fame using the fame package. -TSpadi provides an interface to Fame using a (somewhat dated) padi server. -TShistQuote provides an interface to get.hist.quote. Many thanks to the authors and maintainers of the underlying packages, and several people who have commented on early versions of the TS* packages.
