I just issued the command

CREATE TABLE Test (MyCol VARCHAR(19)

using the ConComp database shipped with R:Base for Windows, with the result
that the table was created correctly in the database.

My understanding is that R:Base _does_ support all the standard SQL
datatypes, mapping them transparently to internal types as necessary.
