Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
pg_lake is a bundle of Postgres extensions, open-sourced by Snowflake, that lets a standard Postgres database read and write Apache Iceberg tables using ordinary SQL, including a mode where Postgres itself acts as the Iceberg catalog. It can also query external data-lake files directly, without first copying that data into the database.
