I use duckdb often too, but the way it is being hyped in these comments makes me feel like I'm missing out on some insane usecase.
I basically use it to load csv, jsonl, parquet etc etc formats and do arbitrary transformations. Are people doing something else with it?
- mmarian 6mo agoProbably because you probably don't have to do those arbitrary transformations that often. I do, being in a security-related role. But I wouldn't have recognized its usefulness in my previous roles as a front/backend dev.
- goerch 6mo agoMaybe you are unconsciously doing the right thing(TM) already? So try doing it with SQLite instead :)
- datadrivenangel 6mo agoloading data and doing arbitrary transformations turns out to be a huge PITA with most other tools over a long enough timescale.
