Large data sets

["jose Bartolomei" <surfprjab@hotmail.com>]

Hi S-users

I am a student and I am quite new to R/S programming.  During my short 
experience with the package and due to different comments (s-news & other) I 
have the impression that S-Plus have problem dealing with very large data 
sets.
I am correct in having this notion?

Soon I will receive a gigantic database that I was planned to analyze in 
S-Plus.  To overcome this limitation I am planning to import the database to 
an
SQL server and access the data via the S-Plus ODBC to conduct the analysis.

This is a good idea?

Thanks to all,
jose
