Dear Juan,

I'm not deeply familiar with the DB's you mention but it seems to me that
me that 'memory.limits' does what you want on one OS and you can use shell
commands to limit R's memory usage for *nix-alike systems (see
?memory.limits). Also, Jeroen Ooms wrote a nice article about this in the
JSS: https://www.jstatsoft.org/article/view/v055i07 . There's also a
package for it: RAppArmor.
