DuckDB Julia Package
The DuckDB Julia package provides a high-performance front-end for DuckDB. Much like SQLite, DuckDB runs in-process within the Julia client, and provides a DBInterface front-end.
The package also supports multi-threaded execution. It uses Julia threads/tasks for this purpose. If you wish to run queries in parallel, you must launch Julia with multi-threading support (by e.g. setting the JULIA_NUM_THREADS
environment variable).
Installation
pkg> add DuckDB
julia> using DuckDB
Basics
# create a new in-memory database
con = DBInterface.connect(DuckDB.DB, ":memory:")
# create a table
DBInterface.execute(con, "CREATE TABLE integers(i INTEGER)")
# insert data using a prepared statement
stmt = DBInterface.prepare(con, "INSERT INTO integers VALUES(?)")
DBInterface.execute(stmt, [42])
# query the database
results = DBInterface.execute(con, "SELECT 42 a")
print(results)
Scanning DataFrames
The DuckDB Julia package also provides support for querying Julia DataFrames. Note that the DataFrames are directly read by DuckDB - they are not inserted or copied into the database itself.
If you wish to load data from a DataFrame into a DuckDB table you can run a CREATE TABLE AS
or INSERT INTO
query.
using DuckDB
using DataFrames
# create a new in-memory dabase
con = DBInterface.connect(DuckDB.DB)
# create a DataFrame
df = DataFrame(a = [1, 2, 3], b = [42, 84, 42])
# register it as a view in the database
DuckDB.register_data_frame(con, df, "my_df")
# run a SQL query over the DataFrame
results = DBInterface.execute(con, "SELECT * FROM my_df")
print(results)
