How to create a table from a Pandas DataFrame
CREATE TABLE AS
and INSERT INTO
can be used to create a table from any query. We can then create tables or insert into existing tables by referring to referring to the Pandas DataFrame in the query.
import duckdb
import pandas
# connect to an in-memory database
my_df = pandas.DataFrame.from_dict({'a': [42]})
# create the table "my_table" from the DataFrame "my_df"
duckdb.sql("CREATE TABLE my_table AS SELECT * FROM my_df")
# insert into the table "my_table" from the DataFrame "my_df"
duckdb.sql("INSERT INTO my_table SELECT * FROM my_df")
