R¶
ADBC in R is implemented as a suite of R packages. Most users will
interact with ADBC via the adbcdrivermanager
package and use drivers that are also distributed as R packages. In
addition to the low-level interface provided by adbcdrivermanager,
you can use read_adbc(), write_adbc() and execute_adbc()
to quickly interact with an ADBC connection or database.
library(adbcdrivermanager)
# Use the driver manager to connect to a database
db <- adbc_database_init(adbcsqlite::adbcsqlite(), uri = ":memory:")
con <- adbc_connection_init(db)
# Write a table
mtcars |>
write_adbc(con, "mtcars")
# Query it
con |>
read_adbc("SELECT * from mtcars") |>
tibble::as_tibble()
# Clean up
con |>
execute_adbc("DROP TABLE mtcars")
adbc_connection_release(con)
adbc_database_release(db)
See individual package documentation for installation and usage details specific to each driver.
