This short from Mehdi Ouazza talks about DuckDB for OLAP and how DuckDB extensions are installed and loaded.
0:00DuckDB, the light OLAP SQL database, is making some noise, or quacking, for pleasantly fast analytics. But the most interesting feature of this open source project, in my opinion, is extensions. Extensions are like packages that you can install within DuckDB to enjoy some specific features. You can display which core and supported extensions are available by using the
0:23table function DuckDB extensions. HTTPS is one of the most popular as it enables you to read and write files over HTTPS directly in DuckDB and AWS S3 is also supported. To install an extension, just do install and the name of the extension and load. And you're ready to go. To install a third party extension or your own, you need to pass the flag unsigned when launching DuckDB. There is a
0:48ton of extensions being built at the moment, even one to query finance data with five lines of code.
