airflow-provider-duckdb

A DuckDB provider for Airflow. This provider exposes a hook/connection that returns a DuckDB connection.

This works for either local or MotherDuck connections.

Installation

pip install airflow-provider-duckdb

Connection

The connection type is duckdb. It supports setting the following parameters:

• host (optional): Path to local file or MotherDuck database (leave blank for in-memory database)
• password (optional): MotherDuck Service token (leave blank for local database)

These have been relabeled in the Airflow UI for clarity.

For example, if you want to connect to a local file:

• host: /path/to/file.db
• password: (leave blank)

If you want to connect to a MotherDuck database:

• host: <YOUR_DB_NAME>
• password: <YOUR_MOTHERDUCK_SERVICE_TOKEN>
