Module: DuckDB

Install DuckDB, a high-performance embedded analytical database component.

DuckDB is a high-performance embedded analytical database.

DuckDB is embedded, so it does not require deployment or service management. Install the DuckDB package on the node and use it directly.


Installation

The current Pigsty node platform mapping includes the duckdb package, which can be installed directly from the Infra repository:

./node.yml -t node_install  -e '{"node_repo_modules":"infra","node_packages":["duckdb"]}'

Install with pig:

pig repo add infra -u      # add Infra repo
pig install duckdb         # install DuckDB package
