The future of data connectivity is columnar. Today we launched @columnar.tech to accelerate the shift from slow, row-oriented APIs like ODBC and JDBC to >10x faster alternatives powered by @arrow.apache.org. Learn more 👇

ODBC is getting tired. It just can't keep up with the fast new kids in the data world these days. The next generation is ready to take the torch. Meet ADBC, a fast, modern data connectivity standard built on @arrow.apache.org. Watch my new talk from the @db.cs.cmu.edu seminar: youtu.be/TjlmNGNx77E
