[R] Problems Building RMySQL in Windows

[Philippe Grosjean]

Regarding the very few tests I did (RMySQL versus RODBC using a MySQL ODBC
driver, but I do not remember details here), RMySQL is faster. It should be
great, if you need to access a MySQL database from R, to try both and decide
by yourself. If you do that, I am very interested by the results.
Best,

Philippe Grosjean

Great! Using RODBC is really easy!
Would someone please comment on the pros and cons of RODBC compared with
RMySQL?
Thanks in advance.
