what is the preferred method to create a package local variable?
for the moment, I'm using: .onAttach <- function(libname, pkgname) { .bbg.db.conn <<- dbConnect(dbDriver("PostgreSQL"), user="blah","blah") } .onUnload <- function(libpath) { dbDisconnect(.bbg.db.conn) } which results in a hidden global variable in the global environment. I would prefer to make the assignment only in the package namespace.
