title: Import huge data from MySQL to R using RMySQL
body: <p>I have a table in a mysql db that contains 312 millions rows and 10 fields/columns. I am trying to import this data into R, using library("RMySQL") but this kills my desktop (config 8 GB RAM 64 bit AMD Dual core processor running Linux Mint 15)Is there an efficient way I can import all this data into R ? Like using "ff" library etc?</p>
