[R-sig-DB] using DBI

[Don MacQueen]

First:

Have you successfully installed the ROracle package?

(Until you've done that, I don't think there's any point in trying to 
help with or answer the other questions.)

At some point you will have to tell people what platform you're 
running R on (see http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html), and 
you may get asked to provide commented, minimal, self-contained, 
reproducible code.
