Hi John,

I tried it but this is what I got:

> library(RSQLite)
> filename <- "DGN-WB_0.5.db"
> sqlite.driver <- dbDriver("SQLite")
> db <- dbConnect(sqlite.driver,
+                 dbname = filename)
Warning message:
Couldn't set synchronous mode: disk I/O error
Use `synchronous` = NULL to turn off this warning.

Please advise,
Ana
