Comment on DuckDB – Data power tools for your laptop, now in Clojure (2023)

Comments

DuckDB, for those who don't know it, has a great extension system, for example it can directly use OLTP databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server; cloud data warehouses/data lakes and big data formats (Iceberg, Delta, Snowflake, Hive, ORC, Parquet, AVRO), other data sources (ODBC), storage (S3), and much much more.

Nice tip, thanks. I may now make Duck CLI the sole gateway to all the databases I have to use at work.

It will certainly allow you to automate tons of stuff, such as data movement between those various sources, data transformations (ETL/ELT) and even simple data conversions - such as from CSV to Parquet, or from ORC to JSON etc. etc. Happy quacking!
