Find the DuckDB extension folder

Returns the path where DuckDB stores installed extension files. This is determined by the extension_directory setting.

Usage

ext_dir(conn = conn_default())

Arguments

conn

A DuckDB connection. Defaults to conn_default().

Value

Character scalar. Path to the extension directory.

Examples

conn <- DBI::dbConnect(duckdb::duckdb())
#> duckdb keeps downloaded extensions and secrets in a temporary directory:
#> ℹ /tmp/Rtmpq5OUnt/duckdb
#> This is removed when the R session ends.
#> • Extensions are re-downloaded each session.
#> • Secrets are lost.
#> ℹ Run duckdb(shared_home = TRUE) (or create ~/.duckdb) to keep them (suitable for most users).
#> ℹ Run duckdb(shared_home = FALSE) to accept the temporary directory (and silence this message).
#> ℹ See ?duckdb_storage for details and alternatives.
ext_dir(conn)
#> [1] "/tmp/Rtmpq5OUnt/duckdb/extensions"
DBI::dbDisconnect(conn, shutdown = TRUE)
