This looks great!

At risk of harping on a tired topic, have you thought about embedding an AI query generator? For ad-hoc queries like I mostly use DuckDB for I’ve found it’s almost always fastest for me to paste the schema to ChatGPT, tell it what I’ll looking for, then paste the response back into the DuckD CLI, but the whole process isn’t very ergonomic.

I think I’m sort of after duckbook.ai, but with access to a local duckdb.

Really cool. Could you elaborate a but more on what the 'notebook' form factor entails? Should we expect the same as other notebook environments?

Our notebook form factor is unique compared to other notebook environments - we don't serialize the results.

We also have some added bonuses for query profiling and data exploration like the Column Explorer.

The easiest way to give it a whirl is to type 'duckdb -ui' in the CLI.

Let us know if you have any other questions

What is the best method for using the UI with a remote server that only has SSH access? The database is too large to rsync locally and seems risky to start opening ports?

Just wondering about reactivity, imports, exports, plain file storage? I don't expect it to be there on a first release, but that's where my mind goes if I see a reference to the notebook form factor.
