In this newsgroup. Hadley explained the purpose of the function dplyr::copy_to(). It is intended to create temporary test tables. The email exchange ends by suggesting to use RMySQL::dbWriteTable() to append data to an existing table. The same applies to SQLite databases, as explained in the accepted answer above.

To append a data frame dtf which has the same column names as an existing database table, I used:

library(RMySQL)
DB <- dbConnect(MySQL(), user="usename", host="localhost",
                   password="***", dbname="dbname")
dbWriteTable(DB, "tablename", dtf, append=TRUE, row.names = FALSE)
