Creates a new database or opens an existing database file stored at the given path. If no path is given a new in-memory database is created instead. The instantiated database should be closed with 'duckdb_close'.

Syntax

duckdb_state duckdb_open(
  const char *path,
  duckdb_database *out_database
);

Parameters

path: Path to the database file on disk, or nullptr or :memory: to open an in-memory database.
out_database: The result database object.

Return Value

DuckDBSuccess on success or DuckDBError on failure.

`duckdb_open_ext`

Extended version of duckdb_open. Creates a new database or opens an existing database file stored at the given path. The instantiated database should be closed with 'duckdb_close'.

Syntax

duckdb_state duckdb_open_ext(
  const char *path,
  duckdb_database *out_database,
  duckdb_config config,
  char **out_error
);

Parameters

path: Path to the database file on disk, or nullptr or :memory: to open an in-memory database.
out_database: The result database object.
config: (Optional) configuration used to start up the database system.

Return Value

DuckDBSuccess on success or DuckDBError on failure.

`duckdb_close`

Closes the specified database and de-allocates all memory allocated for that database. This should be called after you are done with any database allocated through duckdb_open or duckdb_open_ext.

Still, it is recommended to always correctly close a database object after you are done with it.

Syntax

void duckdb_close(
  duckdb_database *database
);

Parameters

database: The database object to shut down.

`duckdb_connect`

Opens a connection to a database. Connections are required to query the database, and store transactional state associated with the connection. The instantiated connection should be closed using 'duckdb_disconnect'.

Syntax

duckdb_state duckdb_connect(
  duckdb_database database,
  duckdb_connection *out_connection
);

Parameters

database: The database file to connect to.
out_connection: The result connection object.

const char *duckdb_library_version(
  
);

`duckdb_create_config`

Initializes an empty configuration object that can be used to provide start-up options for the DuckDB instance through duckdb_open_ext. The duckdb_config must be destroyed using 'duckdb_destroy_config'

This will always succeed unless there is a malloc failure.

Note that duckdb_destroy_config should always be called on the resulting config, even if the function returns DuckDBError.

Syntax

duckdb_state duckdb_create_config(
  duckdb_config *out_config
);

Parameters

out_config: The result configuration object.

Return Value

DuckDBSuccess on success or DuckDBError on failure.

`duckdb_config_count`

Return Value

The amount of config options available.

Syntax

size_t duckdb_config_count(
  
);

`duckdb_get_config_flag`

Obtains a human-readable name and description of a specific configuration option. This can be used to e.g. display configuration options. This will succeed unless index is out of range (i.e., >= duckdb_config_count).

The result name or description MUST NOT be freed.

Syntax

duckdb_state duckdb_get_config_flag(
  size_t index,
  const char **out_name,
  const char **out_description
);

Parameters

index: The index of the configuration option (between 0 and duckdb_config_count)
out_name: A name of the configuration flag.
out_description: A description of the configuration flag.

Return Value

DuckDBSuccess on success or DuckDBError on failure.

`duckdb_set_config`

Sets the specified option for the specified configuration. The configuration option is indicated by name. To obtain a list of config options, see duckdb_get_config_flag.

In the source code, configuration options are defined in config.cpp.

This can fail if either the name is invalid, or if the value provided for the option is invalid.

Syntax

duckdb_state duckdb_set_config(
  duckdb_config config,
  const char *name,
  const char *option
);

Parameters

config: The configuration object to set the option on.

);

Parameters

config: The configuration object to destroy.

`duckdb_query`

Executes a SQL query within a connection and stores the full (materialized) result in the out_result pointer. If the query fails to execute, DuckDBError is returned and the error message can be retrieved by calling duckdb_result_error.

Note that after running duckdb_query, duckdb_destroy_result must be called on the result object even if the query fails, otherwise the error stored within the result will not be freed correctly.

Syntax

duckdb_state duckdb_query(
  duckdb_connection connection,
  const char *query,
  duckdb_result *out_result
);

Parameters

connection: The connection to perform the query in.

Syntax

void duckdb_destroy_result(
  duckdb_result *result
);

Parameters

`duckdb_rows_changed`

Returns the number of rows changed by the query stored in the result. This is relevant only for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE queries. For other queries the rows_changed will be 0.

Syntax

idx_t duckdb_rows_changed(
  duckdb_result *result
);

Parameters

result: The result object.

Return Value

The number of rows changed.

`duckdb_column_data`

Returns the data of a specific column of a result in columnar format.

The function returns a dense array which contains the result data. The exact type stored in the array depends on the corresponding duckdb_type (as provided by duckdb_column_type). For the exact type by which the data should be accessed, see the comments in the types section or the DUCKDB_TYPE enum.

For example, for a column of type DUCKDB_TYPE_INTEGER, rows can be accessed in the following manner:

int32_t *data = (int32_t *) duckdb_column_data(&result, 0);
printf("Data for row %d: %d\n", row, data[row]);

Syntax

void *duckdb_column_data(

result: The result object to fetch the column data from.
col: The column index.

Return Value

The column data of the specified column.

`duckdb_nullmask_data`

int32_t *data = (int32_t *) duckdb_column_data(&result, 0);
bool *nullmask = duckdb_nullmask_data(&result, 0);
if (nullmask[row]) {
printf("Data for row %d: NULL\n", row);
} else {
printf("Data for row %d: %d\n", row, data[row]);
}

Syntax

bool *duckdb_nullmask_data(
  duckdb_result *result,
  idx_t col
);

Parameters

result: The result object to fetch the nullmask from.
col: The column index.

Return Value

The nullmask of the specified column.

`duckdb_result_error`

  duckdb_result *result
);

Parameters
