[R] Compressed communication with DB using RMySQL?

[Uri]

Dear All,
I have a setup where R pulls entries from a MySQL db server.  I wanted
to know whether the R interface can pull encrypted / compressed data
from MySQLD.  MySQL supports compressed communication on the server
side, but I couldn't find any references to such options on the client
(RMySQL) side.

Best,
Uri Hasson.
