[R] Status of PostgreSQL using DBI?

[Prof Brian Ripley]

That's Rdbi, not DBI, and so not the question.  (Rdbi is a precursor to 
DBI, and DBI is now ca 5 years old.)

I've heard nothing about a PostgreSQL driver for DBI for a long time.
Meanwhile, RODBC continues to work with PostgreSQL, as it has done for 
several years.
