[R-sig-DB] Database R Package

[Jim Jones]

Gentlemen,

Last winter at university in the R Programming course I developed an R
Package (so far called rdba) for dealing with some DBA tasks from R
scripts. The package basically avoids the need of the user to have
knowledge of database (PostgreSQL + PostGIS) scripts to manage their
databases. It aims to facilitate the scripts development when "on the fly"
you need to handle databases and tablespaces in a physical level.

The package contains the following functions:

Create Database (With or without a template)
Drop Databse
List Database
Database Exists

Create Tablespace
Drop Tablespace
List Tablespace
Rename Tablespace
Tablespace Exists
Change Owner Tablespace

ListUsers
UserExists

I would like to hear your opinion about submitting it to CRAN, since I'm
new in the list and you are the experts. Initially I just wrote the
functions for PostgreSQL, but it is already in my plans to extend it to
Oracle and SQL Server. What do you think?

Best,
