Any R nerds with Stat1 access: Stat1 now has the
RMySQL package installed. What this means is the following; if you have something from the
db you want to analyse, there's no need to faff around on the command line or inside
MySQL to manually export it as a file, import it into R, analyse it, and then leave a big
juicy TSV around for people to poke at when they're bored. You can run SQL queries
against the slaves from inside R, and have these queries and associated data fall off and
die as soon as you close the session or run rm(). It's also good for replicability,
since people will now (largely) be able to retrieve the same data and run the same
analysis using a single script. Thanks to Jeff Green and Andrew Otto for getting it up and
running :).
