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 :).
