cid <- db.connect(port = .port, dbname = .dbname, verbose = FALSE)

## create a table from the example data.frame "abalone"
delete("abalone", conn.id = cid)
x <- as.db.data.frame(abalone, "abalone", conn.id = cid, verbose = FALSE)
## preview of a table
lk(x, nrows = 10) # extract 10 rows of data

## get names of all columns
dim(x)

dim(x[,1:3])

db.disconnect(cid, verbose = FALSE)
