Dear R Developers, A new package has been released for the "R Statistical Programming Language" in which the R community has put a great effort into it: RMariaDB. It enables a robust data transfer between R and MariaDB. The link on CRAN (R package repository) can be accessed from: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RMariaDB/index.html And can be installed in R by using the following statement: install.packages("RMariaDB") library(RMariaDB) So, just as PHP community developed connector was distributed in the past within MySQL webpage, I do think that this connector could benefit from being distributed (or having a link to CRAN) from the MariaDB Foundation Download Webpage. I believe that many people has putted a great effort on this connector, and it would benefit from greater visibility for better support and maintenance. Thank you, Juan
