Details
Sets one or more conversion functions to handle the translation of DBMS data types to R objects. This is only needed for non-primitive data, since all DBI drivers handle the common base types (integers, numeric, strings, etc.)
The details on conversion functions (e.g., arguments, whether they can invoke initializers and/or destructors) have not been specified.
