[Rd] sqlSave reports invalid regular expression '[^[:alnum]_]+' (PR#7704)

[ripley at stats.ox.ac.uk]

Do not use R-bugs for reports on compatibility of obselete versiond of 
packages with unreleased versions of R!

You did not give the RODBC version no.  The current version, 1.1-3, is 
compatible with R-devel.  1.1-2 was not (alongside a dozen or so CRAN 
packages).

The only bugs here are in the report.
