Hi, this is Saul. If you like this kind of simplicity-first data-exploration approach, you might want to check out another project of mine, VisiData (visidata.org). It's specifically for lightweight data exploration and analysis and it runs directly in the terminal.
- matthuggins 6y agoGood job selling yourself this time!
- manjalyc 6y agoHey, just wanted to say that this looks like a really cool and useful project. I work with a few medical databases and sometimes I just need a very quick breakdown of specific data and while I usually just write a short script, the utility and portability of this code looks fantastic to me. Which brings me to a question, how well does this program handle moderately large databases (~100GB-1TB) in your (or anyone else's) experience? In other words does it try to load everything into memory, or does it query as needed when given a database?
- rabidrat 6y agoIt loads everything into memory, so it works well with <1GB datasets. The architecture could be changed to allow for larger datasets like yours, but that would likely be a large undertaking and would probably be a paid feature.
