I am not quite sure what you are complaining about. The ODBC interface definition is not vectorized, and that has nothing to do with R... that applies across all platforms I have seen. The DBI API is consistent with that. There are some proprietary APIs that implement bulk data transfers, but then you are stuck with that API. It might be appropriate to discuss this on R-sig-db if you have better information than I do. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
