duckdbneo

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
