Remove snprintf calls #66

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
RS-pgsql-pqexec.c, line 90:
snprintf(errResultMsg, len + 80, "could not Retrieve the result : %s", omsg);

Use of snprintf and printf is a serious problem in an R package as it generates 
output bypasses the R session completely and therefore cannot be suppressed, 
captured, or handled as an error.

It would be far better to promote these errors to R "messages", "warnings" or 
"errors" so they can be handled appropriately by the R session.

At the very least, removing this line would be a good start.

I apologize for my confusion, please ignore this bug report.  The error I'm 
seeing appears to come from the Postres driver itself, rather than RPostgreSQL.
