Announcing DuckDB Support for Delta Lake and a DuckDB Extension to Unity Catalog
summary
Announces DuckDB 1.0 with a stable SQL dialect and a backwards‑compatible storage format, plus official Delta Lake support that reads Delta tables with zero configuration by delegating file access to the Delta kernel while keeping DuckDB query operators, and a DuckDB extension that queries Delta Lake tables registered in Unity Catalog as local tables. GitHub stars doubled to almost 20,000, and a new publishing flow for Community Extensions lets anyone build and install extensions via a single install command.
