Detach from a ducklake

Detaches the DuckLake database but keeps the DuckDB connection alive by default. Use shutdown = TRUE to also close the connection and release file locks.

Usage

detach_ducklake(ducklake_name = NULL, shutdown = FALSE)

Arguments

ducklake_name

Optional name of the ducklake to detach.

shutdown

If TRUE, shut down the DuckDB connection after detaching. Only applies to the connection ducklake created itself; a connection registered with set_ducklake_connection() is never closed for you.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
attach_ducklake("my_ducklake", lake_path = "path/to/lake")
# ... do work ...
detach_ducklake("my_ducklake")

# Full shutdown when completely done
detach_ducklake("my_ducklake", shutdown = TRUE)
} # }
