Create or attach a ducklake

Source: R/attach_ducklake.R
attach_ducklake.Rd

This function is a wrapper for the ducklake ATTACH command. It will create a new DuckDB-backed DuckLake if the specified name does not exist, or connect to the existing DuckLake if it does exist. The connection is stored in the package environment and can be closed with detach_ducklake().

Usage

attach_ducklake(ducklake_name, lake_path = NULL)

Arguments

ducklake_name

Name for the ducklake file, as in ducklake:{ducklake_name}.ducklake

lake_path

Optional directory path for the ducklake. If specified, both the ducklake database file and Parquet data files will be stored in this location. If not specified, the ducklake is created in the current working directory with data files in {ducklake_name}.ducklake.files.
