    Does anyone happen to know which country the new company is incorporated in? I'm still looking for a chance to use ClickHouse because it sounds so excellent!

    I am not affiliated, just a happy user! I have spoken with one of the developers, but that's it! I've just come up through the SQL side of analytics and I'm moving into Data Scienc…

    This is so fast!! If anybody is using Pandas to keep rows in order and has hesitated to use DuckDB for that reason, hesitate no more! Give it a shot!

    How would you compare the goals, vision, and current status of DataFusion with DuckDB? (www.duckdb.org) Could DuckDB be an execution engine for Ballista?

    I'm not sure if it would help in your case, but could you process all categories at once with a larger SQL query? If so, DuckDB can process bulk queries about 20x faster than SQLit…

    Came here just to recommend DuckDB! :-) Huge fan. It's unreasonably fast for how easy it is to use.

    Odd that DuckDB didn't work for you on Windows! I only use it on Windows and love it!

    Here is a DuckDB FDW for Postgres! I have not used it, but it sounds like what you need! https://github.com/alitrack/duckdb_fdw

    The best part of this is just how easy it is! Just a pip install and you're up and running using industry standard Postgres SQL!

    The DuckDB folks are migrating from pull to push and put together this interesting documentation of their reasoning! They use a vectorized model instead of a compiled one, so it's …

    I completely agree!! We see 20-100x performance from DuckDB over SQLite for OLAP style queries.

    Dremio also appears to take a similar approach, but with more advanced caching features / query pushdown. Plus it has Apache Arrow at its heart. I think that would be my choice of …

    Check out DuckDB! It is designed for OLAP instead of OLTP, but it uses Postgres syntax and types! It's columnar and lightning fast for big queries.

    Try DuckDB! I've been getting 20x SQLite performance on one thread, and it usually scales linearly with threads!

    We use plotly.js! It is a layer built on top of D3 and has some great looking charts. It also has some statistical and 3D plots that come in handy for us.

    I absolutely love this concept! I remember the Popular Science article years ago that described this for use on ships! What are the current challenges to scaling this more broadly?…

    DuxkDB's query engine is inspired by the same paper! You'll be surprised what you can process on a single node with DuckDB - it takes 33 Spark nodes to match performance! That stil…

    It's also possible to return a result set as an Arrow table, so round trip SQL on Arrow queries is possible (Arrow to DuckDB to Arrow)! It's not 100% zero-copy for strings, but it …

    Before the latest optimization, and only using 1 core, vs. SQLite we were seeing 133x performance on a basic group by or join, and about 4x for a pretty complex query. It was rough…

    I think DuckDB checks a number of these boxes! It is embedded and written in C so compilable to WASM. It is also 10x faster than SQLite and interoperable with Apache Arrow! It migh…
