Bringing arrow-adbc to R via DBI, adbi aims to provide DBI-compliant database access.
You can install the development version of adbi from GitHub with:
The data.frame API of DBI is supported.
library(DBI)
# Create an SQLite connection using the adbcsqlite backend
con <- dbConnect(adbi::adbi("adbcsqlite"), uri = ":memory:")
# Write a table
dbWriteTable(con, "swiss", datasets::swiss)
# Query it
dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT * from swiss WHERE Agriculture < 40")
