Hmmm. This sounds much more like a database question than
an R question. R has various interfaces (RmySQL, RODBC, etc)
for interfaces to relational databases. Section 4 of the
R data import/export manual gives quite a bit of detail.
I think that if you need more information on SQL queries etc.
you need to start with a local source (who is the advisor
for your project?)
good luck
