I like that they provide this data, however when you try to actually retrieve it, It looks like they went out of their way to make it as convoluted as possible to try to retrieve any of the actual data.... so you have to use DuckDB and then do the import using that? why not just support mysql dump files? why require someone to have DuckDB? is DuckDB that popular? also the links they provide don't work so it doesn't look like any of it's available.... how is somebody supposed to use this stuff? they require you to also have Amazon S3 with some query language that's non-standard to be able to talk to it.... I don't get it I'm sure I'm not the only one but it needs to be more generic instead of the way they're doing it
- mdaniel 3y agoyeah, I thought about mentioning that it's kind of rude to lock that data behind AWS or Azure accounts, but realistically no one can be surprised that Big Cloud Providers want people to use more big cloud services There's nothing stopping either AWS or Azure from granting `s3:Get` and `s3:List` on those buckets to enable unauthenticated reads, if they were thus interested
