Sorry, this is an R newbie question: I have managed to sucessfully do some of the basic access of a MySQL data base with R but I have a question about the 'fetch' function. The documentation refers to "fetch(res, n, ...)" but never fully describes the ellipses ("...") nor provides examples of what the field would contain. This is a problem in both the 'help(fetch)' as well as the PDF documentation. An expanded comment/example would be helpful. Thank-you. PS: this also seems to be a problem with some other function documentation. -- The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum. -- Havelock Ellis (1859-1939) British psychologist
