Thanks so much for the many responses on and off this email list! I think it's helped me reach a resolution. I'm going to use R on my current small project for something relatively self-contained, such as some final tests and graphics. I figure this will help me learn some basics about interacting with R without getting too bogged down in setting up a new database system -- which sounds like a job all on its own. After I understand a bit more about R's capabilities I'll ease into the database part.
Cheers, Martin ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
