## Motherduck

1. Get your token on [Motherduck Settings](https://app.motherduck.com/settings)

2. Compose your connection string

   It follows this pattern. `md:<database_name>?motherduck_token=<your_token>`\
   e.g.: `md:sample_data?motherduck_token=eyABC...`

**Notes**

The Motherduck connector requires DuckDB to be at least v.0.10.2

## DuckDB

If you have your data in a local duckdb file you can either host it yourself (e.g. on S3) or [talk to us](https://github.com/Snowboard-Software/snowboard_software/blob/main/dot/dot/integrations/support.md).
