I have seen a ton of DB GUI clients/ cloud based data tools for analytics purposes and the fact that MotherDuck's column explorer/ column data distribution is hands down the best I know is puzzling me.
It seems nobody else besides them cares.
Seeing data distribution, unique values, min/ max/ percentiles is so easy and powerful.
Really commend whoever came up with that.
It's a bit of a shame this metadata cannot be queried itself, would be immensely useful for automatic data profiling/ QA at scale.
- mritchie712 2y agoit's partly bc this would be extremely slow and expensive with many other databases (e.g. it'd be really slow on postgres, very expensive on snowflake).
- stared 2y agoDo you know if there is any open source TypeScript component that can be used in a project?
- thenaturalist 2y agoNone of the UI is OSS as far as I am aware. :/
- hamilton 2y agoTrue; at the moment the UI is not open source. We've talked about releasing the Column Explorer as a standalone component, but haven't been able to prioritize it yet. We'd like to!
- stared 2y agoIt would be wonderful for the community - as it is the best tool in the class. And foremost - thank you for designing this awesome component!
- aszen 2y agoA similar open source column explorer is : https://github.com/manzt/quak https://github.com/manzt/quak See it's demo: https://manzt.github.io/quak/?source=https://pub-2fc10ef67241467c8327dac35d878da9.r2.dev/athletes.parquet https://manzt.github.io/quak/?source=https://pub-2fc10ef6724...
