Read/Write Connections
DuckDB has two access modes:
- Read/Write: One process can both read and write to the database.
- Read Only: Multiple processes can read from the database, but no processes can write.
If you open another connection to a database that is already open in read/write mode, you may get an error. Close the read/write connection to resolve this.
Not Supported
- Loading extensions not included in the default Node.js installation
