Maybe: it is done by SQL commands which you can use *if* you have the 
correct privileges.

However, this is R-help, not R-sig-db and discussion of non-R 
programming questions in detail would not be appropriate.  If you do 
want to follow up on R-sig-db, do first study the R posting guide and 
provide the 'at a minimum' information requested.
