Quick question about the configuration files relative to RMySQL (I've tried to get feedback directly from the author David James, but his email address was non-responsive):
Documentation at http://cran.r-project.org/doc/packages/RMySQL.pdf on page 3 indicates that for windows machines the only place that the my.cnf file will be looked for is the root (C:\) directory. Is this read correct? When launching R, I've set the HOME directory elsewhere, but am unsuccessful in getting recognition of my group definitions in this way (only works when the file is in C:\ ) Does anybody know if there are plans to implement the default.file option noted on page 17 of the same documentation (noted as "Currently unused")? If I set it now, I get "Error in mysqlNewConnection(drv, ...): unused argument(s) (default.file ...)" My goal is to eliminate plain text database passwords from my computer and at least put it on a secured network location, but I need to let RMySQL know how to find it. Thanks for your help.
