AFAIK you cannot as there is no such type. You could of course create one.
We just had that come up in RPostgreSQL as SQL has 'time' but R doesn't. So
we return SQL columns of type time as characters. RODBC does the same. If
there is a better way, someone tell us
By the way, you may find the manuals at
http://cran.us.r-project.org/manuals.html
of value, in particular the 'R Internal' and 'R language definition'.
