Up and running! Firstly, I've installed the required DBI library...

Then, RMySQL...

The installation processes warn about a HTML package index not being
created...
Warning message:
cannot create HTML package index in: make.packages.html()
Several sources read that this is just a benign bug, so I will forget
about it so far.

I am afraid I'd chosen the harder path not by intent, but by lack of
skills! I will try to clarify myself with regards to building R
libraries from scratch and come back to this issue when needed.
I am pretty sure this link to MySQL will ease our transition to R!
Thank you very much for your help,
