Execute a statement for the default connection

Source: R/exec.R
db_exec.Rd

The duckplyr package relies on a DBI connection to an in-memory database. The db_exec() function allows running SQL statements with side effects on this connection. It can be used to execute statements that start with PRAGMA, SET, or ATTACH to, e.g., set up credentials, change configuration options, or attach other databases. See https://duckdb.org/docs/configuration/overview.html for more information on the configuration options, and https://duckdb.org/docs/sql/statements/attach.html for attaching databases.

Usage

db_exec(sql, ..., con = NULL)

Arguments

sql

The statement to run.

...

These dots are for future extensions and must be empty.

con

The connection, defaults to the default connection.

Value

The return value of the DBI::dbExecute() call, invisibly.
