Introduction
Reading Parquet files directly in SSIS can be challenging without the right connector. Using ZappySys ODBC PowerPack with the DuckDB (Parquet) connector, you can query Parquet files using SQL and integrate them seamlessly into SSIS data flows.
This guide shows the fastest way to set it up.
Steps
1. Create an ODBC Data Source
Open ODBC Data Sources (64-bit) and create a new System DSN so SSIS can access it.
2. Select ZappySys JDBC Bridge Driver
From the driver list, choose ZappySys JDBC Bridge Driver and continue.
3. Configure DuckDB (Parquet)
Set the connection to DuckDB in memory mode and point it to the DuckDB JDBC driver file.
Test the connection to confirm everything works.
4. Validate Parquet Access
Use the Preview tab to run a SQL query against a Parquet file and confirm data is returned.
5. Create SSIS Project
Open Visual Studio, create a new Integration Services Project, and add a Data Flow Task.
6. Add ODBC Source
Inside the Data Flow, add an ODBC Source and create a new ODBC Connection Manager using the DuckDB DSN.
7. Query Parquet Data
Choose SQL Command or Table name, preview the data, and confirm the schema.
8. Run the Package
Connect the ODBC Source to any destination and execute the package to process Parquet data in SSIS.
Conclusion
By combining SSIS with ZappySys ODBC PowerPack and DuckDB, you gain a powerful and flexible way to read Parquet files using SQL. This approach enables automated ETL workflows, analytics pipelines, and data exports without complex custom code.
