# duckdb
[DuckDB](https://duckdb.org/) is an in-process SQL OLAP database management system.
It is designed to support analytical query workloads and is optimized for fast query execution.
This repository contains the R bindings for DuckDB.
## Installation from CRAN
This is the recommended method for recent R versions on Windows or macOS which have binaries available on CRAN.
``` r
install.packages("duckdb")
```
For Linux or older R versions, installing the package from source may take up to an hour.
Consider the [Posit Public Package Manager](https://p3m.dev/) for binary installs (see the next section).
## Installation from the Posit Public Package Manager
This repository serves binary builds of CRAN packages for a wide variety of platforms.
Follow setup instructions from .
For example, to install the ManyLinux version of duckdb that is likely to work on your Linux, use:
``` r
install.packages("duckdb", repos = sprintf(
"https://p3m.dev/cran/latest/bin/linux/manylinux_2_28-%s/%s", R.version["arch"], substr(getRversion(), 1, 3)
))
```
To check the availability of binaries for your platform, navigate to the [duckdb search page](https://p3m.dev/client/#/repos/cran/packages/overview?search=duckdb).
## Installation from r-universe
This repository serves development versions.
Binaries are available for recent versions of R and for some platforms.
Review for configuring installation of binary packages on Linux.
``` r
install.packages("duckdb", repos = c("https://duckdb.r-universe.dev", "https://cloud.r-project.org"))
```
Installing the package from source may take up to an hour.
## Installation from GitHub
``` r
# install.packages("pak", repos = sprintf("https://r-lib.github.io/p/pak/stable/%s/%s/%s", .Platform$pkgType, R.Version()$os, R.Version()$arch))
pak::pak("duckdb/duckdb-r")
```
Installing the package from GitHub may take up to an hour.
## User Guide
See the [R API in the DuckDB documentation](https://duckdb.org/docs/api/r).
## Building
To build the R package, you first need to clone this repository and install the dependencies:
``` r
# install.packages("pak", repos = sprintf("https://r-lib.github.io/p/pak/stable/%s/%s/%s", .Platform$pkgType, R.Version()$os, R.Version()$arch))
pak::pak()
```
Then, install:
``` sh
~duckdb-r: R CMD INSTALL .
```
Set the `MAKEFLAGS` environment variable to `-j8` or similar for parallel builds.
Configure `ccache` for faster repeated builds.
If you wish to test new DuckDB functionality with duckdb-r, make sure your clone of `duckdb-r` is one level deeper than your clone of `duckdb` (e.g. `R/duckdb-r` and `duckdb`).
Then run the following commands:
``` sh
~ (cd duckdb && git checkout {{desired_branch}})
~ (cd R/duckdb-r && scripts/vendor.sh)
~ (cd R/duckdb-r && R CMD INSTALL .)
```
It helps if both the duckdb directory and duckdb-r directory are clean.
## Vendoring
This package includes a vendored copy of the DuckDB C++ library. The vendoring process is automated and runs hourly to synchronize with the upstream DuckDB repository. For detailed information about how vendoring works, the relationship between `main` and `next` branches, and manual vendoring procedures, see `scripts/VENDORING.md`.
