[R-sig-DB] Saving R-objects to a database

[Christian Ruckert]

Someone solved the problem of saving R-objects to a database or can give 
me an answer like "this is not possible at the moment"?

All my attempts runned into problems with conversion between blob, raw 
and character representations. Saving the R-object to a file and then 
getting it into the db leads to similar problems. Is saving to the file 
system the only practicable solution?

In my special case I'm using a MySQL database with RMySQL package, but 
suggestions for other combinations are welcome.
