ADBC drivers in @java? Yes. The latest release of ADBC adds a JNI layer that lets Java apps load drivers, run queries, and fetch results fast in @ApacheArrow format. Read the new blog post from @lidavidm and @ianmcook for examples and perf comparisons vs. JDBC. Link in comments👇

Looking for the fastest way to learn ADBC (@ApacheArrow Database Connectivity)? Check out the ADBC Quickstarts repo for simple runnable examples in C++, Go, Python, R, and Rust:

A new startup, @columnar_tech, looks to streamline the copying of tabular data across systems, using @ApacheArrow and the ADBC API. By @Joab_Jackson

The future of data connectivity is columnar. Today we launched @columnar_tech to accelerate the shift from slow, row-oriented APIs like ODBC and JDBC to >10x faster alternatives powered by @ApacheArrow. Learn more 👉 https://t.co/RWMK5bRLLo⚡️

Data and AI are evolving fast, but much of today’s infrastructure still runs on standards from the 90s. @columnar_tech, from the team behind Apache Arrow, is bringing an Arrow-native protocol (ADBC) that moves data 10–100× faster across systems like Snowflake and DuckDB. We're

ODBC is getting tired. It can't keep up with the fast new kids in the data world these days. The next generation is ready to take the torch. Meet ADBC, a fast, modern data connectivity standard built on @ApacheArrow. Watch my talk from the @CMUDB seminar:

Today's Future Data Systems Seminar Speaker: Ian Cook (@ianmcook) will present @columnar_tech's work on @ApacheArrow database connectivity API (ADBC). ADBC is available in modern DBMSs. Zoom talk open to public at 4:30pm ET. YouTube video available after:

In September the @columnar_tech crew are headed to @PyDataParis 2025 and the first ever @ApacheArrow Summit. The organizer @QuantStack is a dedicated supporter of Apache Arrow. We’re delighted to be sponsoring the event.

New post by Pedro Holanda, Ian Cook, Dewey Dunnington and Bryce Mecum: Arrow IPC Support in DuckDB This blog post introduces the new arrow community extension, which boosts interoperability by allowing to consume/produce data through the Arrow IPC Serialization Format.
