Read Spatial Table from DuckDB as sf Object

Reads a DuckDB table containing geometry columns into an sf object. Handles the ST_AsWKB() conversion required by DuckDB Spatial automatically.

Usage

cc_read_sf(con, table_name, geom_col = NULL, crs = 4326)

Arguments

con

DuckDB connection

table_name

Name of the table to read

geom_col

Name of the geometry column (default: "geom"). If NULL, auto-detects the first GEOMETRY column.

crs

Coordinate reference system to set (default: 4326 for WGS84). DuckDB Spatial does not store CRS metadata, so this must be specified.

Value

An sf object with geometry column

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
con <- cc_get_db()

# read site points
sites_sf <- cc_read_sf(con, "site")

# read with specific geometry column
grid_sf <- cc_read_sf(con, "grid", geom_col = "geom_ctr")

# read with different CRS
sites_sf <- cc_read_sf(con, "site", crs = 4326)
} # }
