[R] RMySQL

[David James]

Hi,

Try using getDatabases() with a connection object.  Being able
to query MySQL about databases may require you to have 
an open connection.  Thus

> m <- MySQL()
> con <- dbConnect(m, user = user, password = passwd, ...)

> getDatabases(con)
$Database
[1] "Network"    "ggobi"      "mysql"     
[4] "test"       "vital_test"
