pg_duckdb in Action: Accelerating Analytics on Azure Database for PostgreSQL | POSETTE 2026
pg_duckdb is a Postgres extension embedding DuckDB's analytical engine to run fast OLAP queries inside Postgres without data movement.
“It's like bringing the capabilities of OLTP and OLAP at one place.”
A Microsoft engineer presents pg_duckdb, a Postgres extension that embeds DuckDB's columnar, vectorized engine to accelerate analytical queries on Azure Database for PostgreSQL without exporting data. It matters as a practical database-engineering pattern unifying OLTP and OLAP, but it is a niche tooling talk rather than a major AI industry signal.
