Description: R interface of Pivotal Data Fabrics running on PostgreSQL
or Pivotal (Greenplum) database with parallel and distributed
computation ability for big data analytics. PivotalR is a
package that enables users of R to interact with the Pivotal
(Greenplum) Database as well as Pivotal HD/HAWQ for Big Data
analytics. It does so by providing an interface to the
operations on tables/views in the database. These operations
are almost the same as those of data.frame. Thus the users of R
do not need to learn SQL when they operate on the objects in
the database. It also provides a wrapper for MADlib, which is
an open-source library for parallel and scalable in-database
analytics.

Description: Provides an R interface for the Pivotal Data stack
running on 'PostgreSQL', 'Greenplum' or 'Apache HAWQ (incubating)'
databases with parallel and distributed computation ability for big data
processing. 'PivotalR' provides an R interface to various database
operations on tables or views. These operations are almost the same as
the corresponding native R operations. Thus users of R do not need
to learn 'SQL' when they operate on objects in the database. It also
provides a wrapper for 'Apache MADlib (incubating)', which is an open-
source library for parallel and scalable in-database analytics.
