Overview

About

Maintained by Edward C. RuizFirst published 2026-05-072 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides an R6-based project container for managing 'DuckDB' connections, reconnecting lazy database tables after session restarts, and storing metadata for database-backed objects used by packages in the 'dbverse'. The package supplies S4 base classes and generics for database-backed data, helpers for validating 'DuckDB' connections and table names, utilities for creating persistent database views, and methods for writing and restoring pinned lazy tables through the 'pins' package. These tools help package authors and analysts keep database paths, cached connections, and table references synchronized across interactive sessions and project directories.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("dbProject", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("dbverse-org/dbproject-r")

Development version from dbverse-org/dbproject-r. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-dbproject

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-dbProject

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-dbProject

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
