#29 data bases in pliers

Kirill Müller will present about the DBI projects in the R consortium. Mikhail (Misha) Balyasin will continue "touring the tidyverse" with a session on dplyr.

During the last two years, Kirill Müller was part of the "Improving DBI" and “Establishing DBI” projects, funded by the R Consortium.
The projects included the completion of three database backends, RSQLite, RPostgres and RMariaDB, quite a few interface extensions, and a machine- and human-readable interface specification.
He'll present new features, talk about changes under the hood, and discuss interesting applications such as data manipulation and model prediction on the database.

Misha Balyasin kindly organizes a series on the tidyverse - contributions from other users are very welcome! This time, we'll focus on dplyr and (in light of the DBI talk), brush dbplyr as well.
