Very very interesting, if it is ok with it, I will post these observations to Stack Overflow so that they are useful to other R Programmers, and make more research on the topic, putting it all together. I could even do a small article with my research. I think this is a critical point if you want

Dear Juan, I'm not deeply familiar with the DB's you mention but it seems to me that me that 'memory.limits' does what you want on one OS and you can use shell commands to limit R's memory usage for *nix-alike systems (see ?memory.limits). Also, Jeroen Ooms wrote a nice article about this in the J

Dear R Developers, In the same way that MySQL/MariaDB's Engine InnoDB or MyISAM/Aria have the innodb_buffer_pool_size or the key_buffer_size for setting the maximum amount of RAM which can be used by a Server Instance: ¿Would it be possible to create an R Configuration Variable which fixes the ma
