Hi, 

I have 2 questions about R integration.

1) I see that missing packages are automatically installed when invoked by library() calls. That is really cool. The question: if I need a library in a function, will this actually be loaded at every function call?

2) How is a SQL type date translated to R? Apparently not "Date", because I tried to use it as such in the declared procedure and I got a complaint.

I tried to figure the type myself with this:

sql> create function dt(d date) returns string language R { class(d) };

sql> select dt( cast('2015-09-21' as date) );

but unfortunately this triggered a server assertion :/

Thanks, Roberto
