However what if I don''t want a class to have its own table, but to actually serve as a proxy to initialize other entries? For instance as an example, let''s have a form with the fields for "student name", "student id number",

Hi I have downloaded the maps package from CRAN, along with a few other map* packages that I could find - but there didn't seem to be data on the UK. What I actually want to do (finally) is draw some maps of data that I have which is organised by postcode (sort of equivalent of US Zip code for those who don't know).
