2018-04-10math/R-DBI: Update to 0.8minskim1-1/+1
Notable changes since 0.7.0: - SQL() now strips the names from the output if the names argument is unset. - The dbReadTable(), dbWriteTable(), dbExistsTable(), dbRemoveTable(), and dbListFields() generics now specialize over the first two arguments to support implementations with the Id S4 class as type for the second argument. Some packages may need to update their documentation to satisfy R CMD check again. - Schema support: Export Id(), new generics dbListObjects() and dbUnquoteIdentifier(), methods for Id that call dbQuoteIdentifier() and then forward. - New dbQuoteLiteral() generic. The default implementation uses switchpatch to avoid dispatch ambiguities, and forwards to dbQuoteString() for character vectors. Backends may override methods that also dispatch on the second argument, but in this case also an override for the "SQL" class is necessary.
