quantmod to get data from yahoo into R 
RMySQL to put data into a DB from R & retrieve data from DB

but if aim is to get data into a DB in an automated fashion to have them at hand when needed (for R or other packages), I would probably seperate the two - something (e.g. shell) to download your data into a DB say every morning and RMySQL to retrieve data into R easily

for the automation I guess it is more related to your OS, e.g. Crontab on Unix

sorry if answer not the right one, question quite vague


Rgds,
Julien
