[R] how to transform db query result into a set of timeseries ?

There's no reason to create multiple xts objects if you intend to
merge them all into one object.  You say the user can select
timeseries, so I assume you have column names in a vector.  If so, you
can do something like this:

series <- c("M", "G", "N")
...
zonnen <- xts(df[,series], as.POSIXct(df$Date))
dygraph(zonnen)
