It depends on the strength of your computing system as well: consider adding 
more RAM, depending on how many columns (and what kind) you have to read in 
for 4 million records. You may try one of the DBMS like MySQL and PostgreSQL. 
 They have a pretty good R interface. I am currently using MySQL with RMySQL 
and RODBC. I started from scratch and learn about it by reading online stuff 
(thanks to some nice people). It is esay to setup and administer, though with 
some limitations, which may not matter if you are using this only as a data 
storage and retrieval system for R. Also read about DBMS in the 1st issue of 
R-news and the Data Import section in the manual.  Try to look for MySQL and 
DBMS postings on the R mailing list. It has some good info. Good luck!
