Write Support

Is there write support on the roadmap? If so, is there an ETA? I'll have to plan a future project and would like to keep using duckdb.
Hi @ibotty! It's something we want to add but we can not give an ETA currently
Thank you for the answer. I might consider duckdb when time comes.
Incrementally, this is getting closer with the COPY function in DuckDB adding support for writing field id metadata for the columns.
There should be an iceberg_schema() function that will return the schema of a table and the appropriate field ids. Then you could write a Parquet file with the right field ids to be added to the Iceberg table.
Hi @rustyconover ,
that are great news!
Do I understand you correctly, that this iceberg_schema() function is already available (in a pre-release)?
What is the plan with writing the associated parquet file, could this also be done in sync with writing the schema file via duckdb?
At this current time the function iceberg_schema() doesn't exist in the extension, but I can see its usefulness to be along the road of writing changes to Iceberg tables.
