No great for those who probably didn't lock in their prices long ago. I assume those that have bet long on gigapresses also had the presence of mind to think ahead about the cost of everything related.

Totally understand and appreciate the reasons why!

Definitely not since we use Snowflake, not Databricks. I'd love to hear more about your solution though!

Any idea why this has been marked a dupe? I can't find the 0.7.0 story announced anywhere else on HN? The additions to 0.7.0 are quite significant and definitely news/discussion worthy. I would have been upset missing this announc

I'd imagine Looker, PowerBI, Tableau are probably the front-ends you'd most commonly hear about, although I'm not sure DuckDb is supported or acknowledged by the parent companies (yet).

While DuckDB is an exciting and amazing project, I think the world that will open up around it is just as exciting, and these are exactly the kinds of questions that get me excited. DuckDB is to Snowflake/BigQuery/DataBricks/

It's not a dumb question at all. I'm pretty knowledgeable with DBs and still find it very difficult to understand how many of these front-end/pass-through engines work. Checkout Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers. That might be t

Doesn't postgres have a columnar option? If so, you could prob get better performance for your analytical interactions if you switched some tables to columnar. Otherwise check out postgres scanner. https://github.com/du

Unfortunately not. At least not without a little intervention. See this blog post for more details about what I mean. They inspect the iceberg table's catalogue to list the related parquet files and then load them into duckdb. https:&

I'm not sure they're saying that. BTW, your questions are exactly those that I've been ask over the last few months, but also with a lot of focus over the last few days. Still learning as much as I can so the following might

Wait, you're telling me that you can create materialized views using foreign tables in Postgres? Is there a way to propagate changes from the foreign data source through the FDW to Postgres? Or would it just be some kind of task polls
