If I save a dataframe with a character-typed last column to a relational database with dbWriteTable, the values in the last column of the resulting table in the database will have a '\r' (carriage return) appended. If I read back the dataframe with dbReadTable the last column in the resulting dataframe has also '\r' appended (see protocol below). Setting or unsetting sql-mode (in the SQL-Server Version 5.0) to or from 'NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPE' has no effect on this behavour ? How can I avoid these unwanted '\r'-tail ?
