4 I'm experimenting with R. It seems easy, as I used SAS some decades ago.
5 Rstudio is a very, very cool interface.

8 So to build up some datasets using R and then using R to save them
9 into a dataset for simple web page tabular representation, would
10 it be a good idea to use sqlite, first to prototype the R code. What database
11 has anyone use with R?

14 Last, after some experimentation and I want to build something, large
15 and permanent, I really want to end up with a postgresql solution, before
16 moving to a 'Big Data' dataset solution. I figure learning some tricks
17 with sqlite, which allows simple browser viewing and debugging, then
18 postgresql are both useful things to know, before trying to use/test
19 one of the 'sql_ish' big data engines.
