If you’re using SQLite already, then it’s the same use case but better at analytics If you’re using excel power query and XLOOKUPs, then it’s similar but dramatically faster and without the excel autocorrection nonsense If you’re doing data processing that fits on your local machine eg 50MB, 10GB, 50GB CSVs kind of thing, then it should be your default. If you’re using pandas/numpy, this is probably better/faster/easier Basically if you’re doing one-time data mangling tasks with quick python scripts or excel or similar, you should probably be looking at SQLite/duckdb. For bigger/repeatable jobs, then just consider it a competitor to doing things with multiple CSV/JSON files.
