<p>The query is submitted to the database server and the DBMS executes it,
possibly generating vast amounts of data. Where these data live
is driver-specific: some drivers may choose to leave the output on the server
and transfer them piecemeal to R, others may transfer all the data to the
client – but not necessarily to the memory that R manages. See individual
drivers' <code>dbSendQuery()</code> documentation for detail
