     'dbAppendTable' is a generic function that, when called on a valid
     database connection object, appends the contents of a data frame
     to a database table.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     dbAppendTable(conn, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    conn: A database connection object.

     ...: Additional arguments

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Column names of the data frame must match column names of the
     database table.  Implementations should allow the data frame
     columns to be a subset of the database table columns and match R
     column names to SQL column names.  Appends must be atomic. 
     Implementations must use transactions or emulate them.
