If the reason you want that is so you can manipulate R data frames in
SQL then the sqldf package does that.  There are no create statements
to issue and no insert statements to issue (although you can).  The
database is automatically created, the create and insert statements
are automatically generated and executed, your SQL statement is run,
the result is automatically retrieved and the database is
automatically destroyed afterwards.  You just specify a select or
other sql statement with the data frame name(s) replacing the table
name(s).  It works with built-in data frames that ship with R and with
data frames you create yourself.  See http://sqldf.googlecode.com for
more.
