load_parquet

R Documentation

Register a Parquet dataset as a view on a DuckDB connection

Description

Validates the URL, loads the azure extension, then registers the dataset as a VIEW. Use az_conn() first if the connection needs an Azure secret. Returns conn invisibly — use tbl_parquet() if you want a dplyr::tbl().

Usage

load_parquet(conn, url, name, hive_partitioning = FALSE, replace = TRUE)

Arguments

`conn`	A DuckDB connection.
`url`	Character scalar. Azure Blob URL. Supports glob patterns.
`name`	Character scalar. Name to register the view under in DuckDB.
`hive_partitioning`	Logical. Enable Hive partition inference. Default `FALSE`.
`replace`	Logical. Replace an existing view. Default `TRUE`.

Value

Invisibly returns conn.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Requires a live Azure account, credentials, and network access.
conn <- az_conn()
load_parquet(conn, "abfss://container@account/data/*.parquet", name = "events")

## End(Not run)
