I love ggsql, the team behind it, ggplot and the tidyverse in general! I've been mulling extending dbt Charts to support ggplot, and will likely reach out to the team about this in the next few weeks. The difference is that Vega-Lite,

(Anders here, on the dbt Charts team) What drew me to the dbt project back in 2020 and what ultimately led me get a job at dbt Labs was this notion that when compared to software engineering teams, analytics teams had been vastly unserved b

hey -- Anders here, I've been helping the dbt Charts team. I loved this list you've enumerated here > There’s governance, access controls, interactivity, and connectivity to semantic layers I'd add to that list as well: KP

I think the advantage is simplicity. Why connect first to duckdb and attach the db when you can query it directly with ADBC which is guaranteed to be fast

by data_ders 4mo ago
Yeah for me standardization is the big win. But not just output formatting but cli commands and a guarantee that they’re as past as possible given that all the connectors use ADBC

hiya, anders from dbt here. cool project -- I especially love the branching and budgeting options you've built in. both are things that I'd love for the dbt standard to include one day. was it dbt's lack of those feature that

ok, this is definitely up my alley. color me nerd-sniped and forgive the onslaught of questions. my questions are less about the syntax, which i'm largely familiar with knowing both SQL and ggplot. i'm more interested in the backe

right? like it's a graph and a relational model query and a pipeline and a language and an abstract syntax tree and declarative logical plan

what do you think is the "most bad" thing about SQL?

by data_ders 7mo ago
TIL about Verse looks cool I'll have to check it out. > SQL is not a pipeline, it is a graph. Maybe it's both? and maybe there will always be hard-to-express queries in SQL, and that's ok? the RDBMS's relational model

I'm as big a SQL stan as the next person and I'm also very skeptical anytime anyone says that SQL needs to be replaced. At the same time, it's challenging that SQL cannot be iteratively improved and experimented upon. IMHO, P

I agree that CTEs help solve the problem of being able to read a SQL query from top to bottom, but I wouldn't say they're a panacea! Personally, it's weird to me that `FROM` (scan) comes after `SELECT` (projection). IMHO the

yeah not necessarily compute (though it has a kernel)! it's actually many things IPC protocol wire protocol, database connectivity spec etc etc. in reality it's about an in-memory tabular (columnar) representation that enables zer

love the animations! I’ve been dreaming of doing the same to get people from csvs to something like Lance but with stops at page files, parquet, and Iceberg along the way

same! but if you get it inevitably wrong the first time it gives you the pinyin. but i struggled to get it to transcribe the consonants I was making let alone the tones. i'm pretty sure i'm not as bad as that!

I'm a big SQL stan here and I love the concept and if you ever wanna chat about how it might integrate with dbt let me know :) conceptual questions: 1) why did you pick SQL? to increase the Total Addressable Userbase with the thinking
