Extensions
Binary Compatibility
To avoid binary compatibility issues, the binary extensions distributed by DuckDB are tied both to a specific DuckDB version and a platform. This means that DuckDB can automatically detect binary compatibility between it and a loadable extension. When trying to load an extension that was compiled for a different version or platform, DuckDB will throw an error and refuse to load the extension.  
See the [Working with Extensions page](#docs:extensions:working_with_extensions::platforms) for details on available platforms.
