I need to connect R and my Postgres-database, but every attempt so far has failed (I tried using the RpgSQL package as well as RdbiPgSQL, the first, following this manual (http://code.google.com/p/rpostgresql/) didn't find any drivers for the database (step no. 1) whereas the second doesn't work with R version 2.13).
