go-duckdb includes a copy of the DuckDB amalgamation (duckdb.cpp, duckdb.h and duckdb.hpp) and pre-compiled static libraries for faster builds on common platforms (see the deps directory). It uses Github Actions to pre-compile the static libraries based on the amalgamation code. This approach is inspired by a combination of go-sqlite3 and v8go.
To upgrade to a new version of DuckDB:
- Change
DUCKDB_VERSIONinMakefile - Run
make deps.source - Push the updated amalgamation files in a new PR
- Wait for Github Actions to pre-compile the static libraries in
depsand push them to the PR - Once the static libraries have been pushed, you can merge the PR to master
