I am not sure what do you mean with "How can I connect to that database and refer to particular table without using sqlquerry".

I am not aware of a way to "see" DB tables as R dataframes or arrays or whatever without importing the tuples first through some sort of query (in SQL) - this seems to be the most practical way to use R with DB data (without going to the hassle of exporting these as .csv files first, and re-read them in R).

There are a couple ways to import data from a DB to R, so that the result of a query becomes a R data structure (including proper type conversion, ideally).
