Query Optimization

DuckDB Just Became the Universal SQL Dialect (And Nobody Noticed)

A new DuckDB transpiler allows you to write DuckDB SQL once and run it against any database—PostgreSQL, Snowflake, BigQuery—with full predicate pushdown. No data movement, no dialect rewriting. DuckDB becomes a universal query planner, not an execution engine. This is a paradigm shift for data engineers tired of context-switching between SQL dialects.
