Description
R data frames are pretty horrible, with lots of automatic conversions that break your code if you're not careful (e.g. 1-row data frames become vectors, strings become factors, etc.)
Perhaps querySql should output tibbles instead? Or should we add a querySql.tibble function?

Research direction
Start with the querySql entry point and review the tibble proposal. Clarify whether the goal is to change querySql's return type or add querySql.tibble; done requires a decided API direction and documented expected behavior for data-frame edge cases.
