This virtual class encapsulates the connection to a DBMS, and it provides access to dynamic queries, result sets, DBMS session management (transactions), etc.

Implementation note

Individual drivers are free to implement single or multiple simultaneous connections.

Examples

con <- dbConnect(RSQLite::SQLite(), ":memory:")
con
#> <SQLiteConnection>
#>   Path: :memory:
#>   Extensions: TRUE
dbDisconnect(con)
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
con <- dbConnect(RPostgreSQL::PostgreSQL(), "username", "password")
con
dbDisconnect(con)
} # }
