Craig Kerstiens announces an extension:
Today, we’re excited to release pg_parquet – an open source Postgres extension for working with Parquet files. The extension reads and writes parquet files to local disk or to S3 natively from Postgres. With pg_parquet you’re able to:
- Export tables or queries from Postgres to Parquet files
- Ingest data from Parquet files to Postgres
- Inspect the schema and metadata of existing Parquet files
Code is available at: https://github.com/CrunchyData/pg_parquet/.
Read on for more background on why we built pg_parquet or jump below to get a walkthrough of working with it.
Hey, that’s my job to tell people to read on to learn more!
