Playing

                                   
> conn <- dbConnect(PgSQL(), host="localhost", dbname="cas", user="megera")
> snquery = dbSendQuery(conn, "select * from sn.sn")
> sn = dbGetResult(snquery)
> str(sn)

Now, sn$id contains id's of sn, sn$type - numerical sn type, etc.

See distribution of SNe on sky

> plot(sn$ra,sn$dec)

The same, but for Ib (3),Ib/c(4) types

> plot(sn$ra[sn$type %in% c(3,4)],sn$dec[sn$type %in% c(3,4)])
