Hi, people other than the R developers can create packages which use R to do interesting things. I gather such packages are mostly distributed via CRAN, is that right? I am curious to know about the process for approving such packages. How much effort goes into reviewing and vetting packages? Is

Dear Juan, I'm not deeply familiar with the DB's you mention but it seems to me that me that 'memory.limits' does what you want on one OS and you can use shell commands to limit R's memory usage for *nix-alike systems (see ?memory.limits). Also, Jeroen Ooms wrote a nice article about this in the
