If they are IDs, you presumably don't need to perform arithmetic on them, so
why not store them as strings? If you're reading them with read.table, see
the colClasses parameter. I am not sure how to do this in RODBC;
as.isthere (as in read.table) does not affect columns that look like
numbers --
Have you looked at the R interface to gmp?
