I assume you want to visualize the data but don't want to do any fancy statistics:

1. Tutorial

2. Language definition

3. Import/Export + sqldf or rodbc

4. Either Lattice[1] or ggplot2[2], and [3]

I'm glad I could be of help. :-)

Thank you for your unexpectedly calm and helpful response to my bad-mood snarkotron. :)
