- xtracto 6mo agoWe use it heavily at my workplace. It doesn't crash at all if you use it as OLAP. But if you use it incorrectly, it will crash. It's pretty solid.
- wenc 6mo agoI use DuckDB daily. In short — It doesn’t crash often at all. What you may be remembering were reports of exceptional cases where it didn’t handle out of memory errors well. I was one of the people affected. I was running complex analytic queries on 400 GB parquets and I only had 128GB memory. It used jemalloc which didn’t gracefully degrade. They fixed a lot of the OOM issues so it’s more robust now. I haven’t had a crash for a long time. On normal sized datasets it never crashes.
