DuckDB's storage format has similar advantages as the Parquet storage format (e.g. individual columns can be read, partitions can be skipped, etc) but it is different because DuckDB's format is designed to do more than Parquet fil

Why compare DuckDB to Parquet when you can use DuckDB and Parquet [1] :) [1] https://duckdb.org/2021/06/25/querying-parquet.html

Some databases do offer both, but it is much more involved than just changing the storage model. The entire query execution model needs to adapt to columnar execution. You can simulate a column store model in a row-store database by splitti

DuckDB developer here. DuckDB is a regular RDBMS that has persistent ACID storage, but is tuned towards analytical workloads, i.e. read-heavy workloads with aggregates that require full scans of the data. Any data you write to tables is sto

DuckDB developer here, DuckDB has a query engine that can directly query external data formats (stored in CSV, Parquet, Arrow, Pandas, etc) without loading the data directly, but also has its own columnar ACID-compliant storage format. It c

DuckDB developer here, DuckDB does not use Arrow as its in-memory format directly but uses something relatively comparable and has interfaces for (quickly) converting data back and forth to Arrow. Expect a blog post on this soon!

DuckDB developer here, compression is still a work in progress and is being incrementally implemented and added to the system. For now the storage is still mostly uncompressed, but expect this to improve in the coming months.

The UI makes you believe that is the case, but people that still have your old contact will send messages to your old number and you will not receive those messages. See also their FAQ on the website [1]. To stay connected with your c

So because Amazon is taking their immense revenue and expanding they should be immune from fines/consequences for their actions? Clearly they are receiving tons of revenue from their European operations.

Buying and selling stocks (or crypto, or ...) on its own is zero-sum. If you sell your stock, someone else has to buy the stock for that same amount of money. You can only make money if someone else loses. The loser does not realize they ha

Information is power. Sharing critical information with a hostile nation can be incredibly dangerous and can lead to many people being killed. Labeling that as "just giving a talk" is misleading. Any government on earth will arres

Just because information is publicly available does not mean they know how to best utilise that information. You can find guides online on how atomic bombs work, but if a physicist traveled to North Korea and gave a talk instructing them ho

Nice article with a lot of depth. While disable comments are something to pay close attention to in a code review, I disagree that their inclusion makes static analysis tools worse. In fact, I would argue not including them makes static a

How are you going to prove it was the AI that generated the GPL licensed function ad verbatim from another project, rather than you just opening that project and copying the function yourself?

Glad that DuckDB is useful to you! Some more notes that might be of use: * We also have a command line interface (with syntax highlighting) [1] * You can use .df() instead of .fetchall() to retrieve the results as a Pandas DataFrame. This i

DuckDB is designed to be used as an embedded library, so it should be totally feasible to use it as part of a FDW. Alternatively, you can run DuckDB as part of a plpython function: CREATE FUNCTION pyduckdb () RETURNS integer AS $$

Your example seems to be mostly coordinated through Rolex and authorized dealers, so what is the advantage of a blockchain? Why not just have Rolex keep track of who owns a watch through e.g. a web interface tied to a serial number + userna

That use case is highly suspect. The reason sharing medical records is difficult is because medical records are sensitive information. Blockchain technology does not solve this problem, and in fact makes it worse. By the very nature of bloc
