MySQLManager id = (5649)

  Conn. processed: 1 
  Default records per fetch: 500 
  Open connections: 1 

where manager is your the output of dbManager("MySQL")
reveals some info


%    timeinfo <- fetch(rs)
%
%gets only 500 rows where
%
%    timeinfo <- fetch(rs,n=-1)
%
%gets (correctly) 736 for the same query.  Is this an undocumented
%feature?  I played with this data for an alarming amount of time
%before I realized that I was missing a third of the data.  I appear to
%be using version 0.4-5.  I'll upgrade to 0.4-6 Real Soon Now.  My
%first attempt failed for some reason.

undocumented? err, you can always look up the sources and in 
RMySQL.R (version 04-6)  this feature is documented 

line 647 
"MySQLManager" <- 
function(max.con=10, fetch.default.rec = 500, force.reload=F)

line 1400
"fetch.MySQLResultSet" <- 
function(res, n=0)   
## Fetch at most n records from the opened resultSet (n = -1 means
## all records, n=0 means extract as many as "default_fetch_rec",
## as defined by MySQLManager (see describe(mgr, T)).
