[R] sqlite and r

[Gabor Grothendieck]

1. There is no off the shelf facility although SQLite itself allows
you to write C functions and those presumably could call R but you
would have to do it yourself.

2. There are also some solutions discussed here which might be good
enough and are a lot easier than #1:
http://code.google.com/p/sqldf/#3._Why_does_sqldf("select_var(x)_from_DF")_not_work?

3. Also you could use a different database.   For example, sqldf also
allows you to use H2 or PostgreSQL in place of SQLite and they have
many more functions than SQLite.   See:
