[R] [SQL]

[Jeff Newmiller]

The format of files with a SQL extension are not necessarily well- defined. In most cases I have found, they are text files that contain SQL Data Definition Language statements (CREATE TABLE) and possibly Data Manipulation Language statements (INSERT INTO). You may be able to extract the portions of the files that contain data using read.csv and judicious use of the skip and nrow arguments, but you will have to first become familiar with the contents of the file using a text editor. If they are binary files, you may need to consult with the source of the data to identify the format used more precisely.
