There's been some really cool progress with ADBC in R (e.g., https://github.com/r-dbi/adbc/issues/3 )...should any of this live in this repo? For example, it seems like it might be helpful to have the driver packaging live here (i.e., alongside the source code). The driver manager is a little more abstract in R terms but I think there may be room for that, too. I wonder if something like the following might make sense: - An R package called 'adbcdrivermanager' that is a very literal wrapper around the C function calls that also handles memory management (perhaps like the one prototyped here: https://github.com/paleolimbot/radbc ) - An R package for each driver. For example, 'adbcsqlite' (perhaps like the one prototyped here: https://github.com/paleolimbot/adbcsqlite3 ) The DBI interface ( https://github.com/r-dbi/adbc ) that @krlmlr has written (something like the dbapi interface that is included in the current Python distribution) would be the access point for humans to actually use the drivers, and maybe an 'adbcdrivermanager' package would help make that easier to write. I'm happy to adapt/contribute the R prototypes I've written for use here, but only if they will help make ADBC for R users a reality! I don't have the bandwidth to help with the DBI wrapper but I'm happy to maintain some smaller pieces. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
