RMariaDB

Fully implements the DBI specification, ensuring consistent and reliable database operations across R, as emphasized in the README as a core philosophy.

Connects to both MariaDB and MySQL servers using native client libraries, providing flexibility for common database environments without switching packages.

Supports configuration via MariaDB option files (e.g., ~/.my.cnf), allowing secure credential storage without exposing passwords in code, as demonstrated in the Hello World example.

Offers functions for fetching results in chunks (e.g., dbFetch with n parameter), enabling memory-efficient processing of large datasets, as shown in the README code snippet.
