You could move your largest table into a separate database with a different name and use SCONNECT/SATTACH to access the table as if it were part of your main db. Oterro is not required for this so long as everything happens within R:Base.
How about using some other database engine let's say mySQL or ORACLE and then use Rbase to talk to it through ODBC could that be a viable option for me to pursue? Anybody out there who has done this?
Thanks
Frank
