Most of my projects store data in a MySQL database. My projects
define queries that relate tables to one another, but the results are
typically something that Org-mode understands---a flat table or a
single value. The reproducible research functions that I write break
the analysis workflow down into separate tasks so that the results of
a SQL query are written to the Org-mode buffer. Subsequent steps in
the workflow refer to the named results block. This way, the Org-mode
project contains the actual data used in the analysis without the need
to reproduce a relational structure. The functions that access the
SQL database go in the local library of babel because I don't want to
give users of a RR document direct access to my database.
