  Or because I wanted to learn how to use DuckDB to access remote parquet files, and this was a good opportunity to figure that out.

    Totally understandable but just say that in the post then :) DuckDB has been a godsend to me for a certain types of stuff (mostly accessing very large parquet files over S3)

  It's more that DuckDB and Clickhouse make it wicked easy to query data on remote servers or object stores in a fairly efficient manner.
