What problem does it solve?
This Skill enables efficient analysis of large spatial datasets in R that exceed available memory, by leveraging DuckDB's spatial capabilities for out-of-memory processing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Memory-Efficient Operations: Perform spatial joins, filtering, and transformations on datasets larger than RAM.
- Lazy Evaluation: Data remains in DuckDB until explicitly collected, optimizing performance.
- Use Case: Analyze nationwide parcel data for spatial queries or perform areal interpolation on large census geographies without crashing your R session due to memory limits.
Quick Start
Use the r-duckspatial skill to open the file 'large_spatial_data.gpkg' and perform a spatial join with 'study_area.gpkg' using the 'intersects' predicate.
