duckdbneo

Lifecycle: experimental

The overarching goal of duckdbneo is to rethink how duckdb is installed and used in R.

Installation

You can install the development version of duckdbneo like so:

# install.packages("pak", repos = sprintf("https://r-lib.github.io/p/pak/stable/%s/%s/%s", .Platform$pkgType, R.Version()$os, R.Version()$arch))
pak::pak("krlmlr/duckdbneo")

Goals

  • No use of C++ API, only the C API of duckdb is used
  • Use ADBC and the adbi R package to implement DBI
  • Expose R wrappers for the C API
    • Autogenerated bindings from a JSON API spec
    • Hand-written user interface for convenience, based on the autogenerated bindings, with support for ALTREP and duckplyr

Non-goals

  • Implement a full DBI interface
  • Implement a full dplyr interface
  • Extend duckdb
  • Improve interoperability with other R packages
