DuckDB Now Ships inside dbt v2
dbt v2 (Rust‑based Fusion engine) now bundles a DuckDB adapter, removing the separate Python package. It adds built‑in catalog support (DuckLake, Iceberg), writes dbt’s information schema as Parquet for fast querying, provides native SQL comprehension with column‑level lineage, pins a specific DuckDB version (enabling native extension functions), and offers a migration path from v1.
