Obtaining zero instead of Inf #267

Description

@altay-oz

I am inserting a dataframe containing infinity to PostgreSQL, then when I make a query I obtain zero.

library(DBI)

conn <- dbConnect(drv = RPostgres::Postgres(),
                  dbname = "my_db",
                  host = "localhost",
                  user = "db_admin",
                  password = pw)

rm(pw)

mydf <- data.frame(column_1 = c("A", "B", "C"), column_2 = c(1, Inf, 3))

dbWriteTable(conn, "mytable", mydf, row.names = FALSE)

from_df <- dbReadTable(conn, "mytable")

from_df

The result obtained from db.

  column_1 column_2
1        A        1
2        B        0
3        C        3
