spec_arrow_fetch_arrow_chunk

Value

dbFetchArrowChunk() always returns an object coercible to a data.frame with as many rows as records were fetched and as many columns as fields in the result set, even if the result is a single value or has one or zero rows.

Failure modes

An attempt to fetch from a closed result set raises an error.

Specification

Fetching multi-row queries with one or more columns returns the next chunk. The size of the chunk is implementation-specific. The object returned by dbFetchArrowChunk() can also be passed to nanoarrow::as_nanoarrow_array() to create a nanoarrow array object. The chunk size is implementation-specific.
