This driver is maintained by Evidence: Publish BI reports with just SQL and Markdown.
Install from the VSCode Marketplace.
- Latest DuckDB support (currently 1.0.0)
- Connect to a local, in-memory or MotherDuck (via service token) DuckDB instance
- Run queries against a DuckDB instance
- Explore DB tables and columns in the sidebar
- View table results by selecting them in the sidebar
- Autocomplete for common keywords (e.g. SELECT, FROM, WHERE) and table names
- Read/Write connections
DuckDB has two access modes:
- Read/Write: One process can both read and write to the database.
- Read Only: Multiple processes can read from the database, but no processes can write.
If you open another connection to a database that is already open in read/write mode, you may get an error. Close the read/write connection to resolve this.
