RMySQL dependency #11
Description
ReMap depends on RMySQL, which requires admin rights to be installed because it depends itself on quite specific system libraries.
Is there a real need for RMySQL ? Is there an easier-to-install alternative ?
If possible – it would be better to avoid this dependency, because it would be problematic for users who have no admin right on their machine / server, and they may renounce to install and use the package.
Cheers
