Require a modern DuckDB (and optionally the spatial GEOMETRY extension)

Guards the v8 Parquet-V2 / byte-sized-row-group writers (copy_atlas_parquet(), write_atlas_parquet()) and leaves room for a future GeoParquet cell-geometry column: checks the installed duckdb R package is >= min and, when spatial = TRUE, that LOAD spatial succeeds (native GEOMETRY type, DuckDB 1.5+). Geometry is not yet persisted — spatial defaults FALSE.

Usage

require_duckdb(min = "1.5.0", con = NULL, spatial = FALSE)

Arguments

min

minimum duckdb package version (default "1.5.0")

con

optional open connection to test spatial on (a temp in-memory one is used if NULL)

spatial

also require the spatial extension (default FALSE)

Value

TRUE invisibly, or stops
