Storing R Objects in a relational database

Question

I frequently create nonparametric statistics (loess, kernel densities, etc) on data I pull out of a relational database. To make data management easier I would like to store

Answer 1

Use the serialization feature to turn any R object into a (raw or character) string, then store that string. See help(serialize).

Reverse this for retrieval: get the string, then unserialize() into a R object.
