    The article mentions a dataset of names given to people in the USA. This is a fun name explorer WASM based on that data. 811 people in the USA have named their baby 'Diesel': https…

    Thanks for sharing, and thanks for making the video you shared. A couple thoughts. Is PostGIS king in this area? I've been liking duckDB as it does not require a server. Is there a…

    Thanks for sharing all this. Where is the submission page on claude / openAI to submit MCP servers to their directories?

    This is awesome. Is your code open source? It would be cool to make a textbook for SQL in this format.

    If you are a data scientist or do anything with data... duckdb is like a swiss army knife. So many great ways it can help your workflow. The original video from CMU in 2020 [1] is …

    Spotify says it will take 30 days for the export... it really only takes about 48 hours if I remember correctly. While you wait for the download here is an example listening histor…

    What I love about duckdb: -- Support for .parquet, .json, .csv (note: Spotify listening history comes in a multiple .json files, something fun to play with). -- Support for glob re…

    Nice work Andy. I'd love to hear about semantic layer developments in this space (e.g. Malloy etc.). Something to consider for the future. Thanks.

    I'm using DuckDB WASM on github pages. This will take about 10 seconds to load [1] and shows business trends in my county (Spokane County). This site is built using data-explorer […

    DuckDB can read JSON - you can query JSON with normal SQL.[1] I prefer to Malloy Data language for querying as it is 10x simpler than SQL.[2] [1] - https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/d…

    I have experience with duckDB but not databricks... from the perspective of a company, is a tool like databricks more "secure" than duckdb? If my company adopts duckdb as a datalak…

    Based on this comment, you might enjoy the Malloy data language. It compiles to SQL and also have an open source explorer to make filters like what you are saying easy.

    It’s 2025. Let’s separate storage from processing. SQLite showed how elegant embedded databases can be, but the real win is formats like Parquet: boring, durable storage you can re…

    Same. But, I use Malloy which uses duckdb to query data stored in hundreds of parquet files (as if they were one big file).

    I agree with this 100%. The creator of duckdb argues that people using pandas are missing out of the 50 years of progress in database research, in the first 5 minutes of his talk h…

    Very cool to see Malloy mentioned here. Great stuff. There is an MCP server built into Malloy Publisher[1]. Perhaps useful to the author or others trying to do something similar to…
