Best Practices in Working with Databases
Posit makes it easy to work with databases. This work focuses on three key areas:

1. Posit products
- The RStudio Connections Pane makes it possible to easily connect to a variety of data sources, and explore the objects and data inside the connection
- To Posit commercial customers, we offer Posit Professional ODBC Drivers. These are data connectors that help you connect to some of the most popular databases.
2. R packages
Build and/or document how to use packages such as: dplyr, DBI, odbc, keyring and pool
3. Education
This website is the main channel to provide advice in this area. Posit is also working through other delivery channels, such as upcoming webinars and conferences.
