I was asking about which R *package* and version: R itself does not interface to any DBMS, but there are several ways to interface to PgSQL and they are *packages* like RPgSQL, which has different versions in different repositories (although AFAIK none are current on CRAN). (There is also a dbi.something package.)
That's the vital piece of information: db.connect is not a part of R per se, and that seems to be where the problem is.
