DuckDBSpatial

This is the development version of DuckDBSpatial; to use it, please install the devel version of Bioconductor.

DuckDB-Backed Spatial Data Structures

DOI: 10.18129/B9.bioc.DuckDBSpatial

Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

Provides DuckDB-backed implementations of spatial data structures for efficient out-of-memory operations on large spatial datasets. The package includes 68 sf-compatible spatial methods (st_intersects, st_contains, st_within, etc.) and GeoParquet 1.0 I/O support via writeGeoParquet(). Ideal for spatial analysis, genomic interval analysis, and integration with BiocDuckDB for MultiAssaySpatialExperiment workflows requiring memory-efficient operations on large datasets.
