Google Drive → DuckDB
AI-first ETL from Google Drive into DuckDB. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Google Drive into DuckDB
Datrise syncs Google Drive's files, folders, permissions, and revision metadata into DuckDB as a typed table per source entity in a DuckDB file. Flexible or custom fields land in JSON or STRUCT columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses rewrites changed entities into the local database (or Parquet) on each run, so re-runs update only what changed. Hive-partitioned Parquet by load date when exporting. DuckDB is single-writer and embedded, so Datrise produces a consistent file snapshot rather than concurrent streaming writes.
Ideal for local and notebook analytics without standing up a server.
Endpoints
Google Drive: Cloud file storage often used for operational exports.
DuckDB: In-process analytics database for fast local OLAP.
How Google Drive entities map to DuckDB
| Google Drive entity | DuckDB object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| files | google_drive_files | id PK · custom fields → JSON or STRUCT columns |
| folders | google_drive_folders | id PK · linked to google_drive_files |
| permissions | google_drive_permissions | id PK · linked to google_drive_files |
| revision metadata | google_drive_revision_metadata | id PK · linked to google_drive_files |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle Google Drive's custom fields in DuckDB?
Flexible values are stored as JSON or STRUCT columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native DuckDB types.
How does the Google Drive to DuckDB sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses rewrites changed entities into the local database (or Parquet) on each run.
