Not familiar with bioconductor, but R is not strong in interface with other databases. There is, however, a mailing list R-sig-DB on database interfaces (see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-db).

Looks pretty nice for handling large sets of biological data, especially microarry, data: http://www.bioconductor.org/ A quick skim through this article, suggests that it is either built within R or relies heavily upon R: http://genomebiology.com/2004/5/10/R80%7D Anyone here more familiar with Bioconductor? I'm most keen on knowing how it can connect to large datasets stored in databases, e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc. Regards, - Robert http://www.cwelug.org/downloads Help others get OpenSource software.
