# parquet-vtable A SQLite [virtual table](https://sqlite.org/vtab.html) extension to expose Parquet files as SQL tables. ## Building 1. Install [`parquet-cpp`](https://github.com/apache/parquet-cpp) 2. Run `./build-sqlite` to fetch and build the SQLite dev bits 3. Run `./parquet/make` to build the module 1. You will need to fixup the paths in this file to point at your local parquet-cpp folder. ## Use ``` $ sqlite/sqlite3 sqlite> .load parquet/libparquet sqlite> create virtual table demo USING parquet('demo.parquet'); sqlite> select * from demo limit 1; ...if all goes well, you'll see data here!... ```
