# open the connection using user, passsword, etc., as
con <- dbConnect(drv, "user/password@dbname")

# Run an SQL statement by creating first a resultSet object
rs <- dbSendQuery(con, statement = paste(
                      "SELECT w.laser_id, w.wavelength, p.cut_off",
                      "FROM WL w, PURGE P", 
                      "WHERE w.laser_id = p.laser_id", 
                      "SORT BY w.laser_id")
# we now fetch records from the resultSet into a data.frame
data <- fetch(rs, n = -1)   # extract all rows
dim(data)
