What do you mean by 'native'.  See e.g.

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-February/228470.html

which suggests that ODBC should be regarded as 'native' (and it is 
just as native to Redmond as SQL Server).

And as you surely would have found out from your preliminary homework, 
there is a ODBC interface for R.
