Had a similar thought. Azure Postgres has something similar to pg_parquet (pg_azure_storage), but we're looking into replacing it with pg_duckdb assuming the extension continues to mature.

It would be great if the Postgres community could get behind one good opensource extension for the various columnstore data use cases (querying data stored in an open columnstore format - delta, iceberg, etc. being one of them). pg_duckdb seems to have the best chance at being the goto extension for this.

Fun fact, I created pg_azure_storage :)

  • I was just wondering if pg_parquet could be combined with pg_azure_storage to write Parquet files to Azure Storage.

    I had problems with pg_azure_storage in the past, because the roles pg_read_server_files and pg_write_server_files are unassignable on Azure PostgreSQL databases which makes the use of `COPY {FROM,TO}` impossible.
