Hello R users,

I am reading data into R from RMySQL or SQLite databases which are in
Spanish language. I am using RMySQL library and function dbReadTable but I
could not get characters with ñ and tilde, instead R does put ?.

In the past I could manage it modifying the R options as (using windows):

op <- options()
op$encoding <- "iso-8859-1"
options(op)

but now in ubuntu it did not work. I am working in ubuntu 10.04 and R
2.10.1.

I hope somebody could help me to figure it out.

Thanks,

Mario Martínez A.
