    whether these do anything depends on the ODBC driver.  The first
    three can be length-one character vectors, and tableType can
    specify zero or more types.sqlQuery.SQL_NULL_DATA items in a column transferred as character.odbcGetErrMsg returns a (possibly zero-length)
  character vector of pending messages.odbcClearError returns nothing, invisibly.The otheres return 1 on success and -1 on failure,
  indicating that a message is waiting to be retrieved
  odbcGetErrMsg.  odbcFetchRows may return
  -2 indicating "No Data", the message that would be
  returned by odbcGetErrMsg.
sqlTables,
  sqlQuery, sqlGetResults and similar
  high-level functions.  They are likely to be confind to the 
  RODBC namespace in the near future.
  
  odbcTables enquires about the tables on the connected database.
  Whether arguments after the first do anything and what they do
  depends on the ODBC driver: see the help on sqlTables
  for some driver-specific details.  odbcFetchRows returns a data frame of the pending rowset,
  limited to max rows if max is greater than 0.
  buffsize may be increased from the default of 1000 rows for
  increased performance on a large dataset.  This only has an effect
  when max = 0 and believeNRows = FALSE (either for the
  ODBC connection or for this function call), in which case
  buffsize is used as the initial allocation length of the R
  vectors to hold the results.  (Values of less than 100 are increased
  to 100.)  If the initial size is too small the vector length is
  doubled, repeatedly if necessary.
