One way would be
sql <- scan('stmt.sql', what='')
Then
sql <- paste(sql, collapse=' ')
or
sql <- paste(sql, collapse='\n')
After which you can check with
cat(sql, '\n')
I do this sort of thing when I want to maintain an SQL template in an
external file, then modify it in R before using one of the DBIs to submit
it to some external relational database.
