Hi @ Andrew: Did you get this problem solved? I am having similar problems and have tried to work around it using options(gsubfn.engine = "R") as suggested by Gabor. However, this don't solve on my machine. R just freezes up trying to execute read.csv.sql()
On OSX 10.6.4, R 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) 64bit Any help is much appreciated!
