Hello @s-u, I agree with @ponnet that no much documentation about package use cases. Could you update it please? Thank you very much.

Well, RJDBC is just implementing methods of the DBI package which defines the actual interface, so see DBI on CRAN for vignettes and documentation.

Unfortunately, the setup of DBI is using S4 which makes it very hard to document just additional features in the methods. The only part not covered by that DBI itself is the JDBC() function which is documented in the package.

I would be more than happy to accept PRs with suggestions how to improve the documentation if anyone is willing to take it on.
