Monahan et al. - In Process Analytical Data Management with DuckDB | SciPy 2023
Discover DuckDB, a fast in-process analytical tool for Python, designed for larger-than-memory data and scalable data analysis, with a rich SQL dialect and seamless integration with pandas and NumPy.
- DuckDB is a fast analytical tool that works directly with Python, making it easy to integrate with data science workflows.
- It’s designed to handle larger-than-memory data and can run on any platform with pip install and no dependencies.
- DuckDB’s architecture is based on in-process storage, which allows it to run faster and more efficiently than traditional database systems.
- It has a rich SQL dialect and supports columnar storage, making it well-suited for analytical queries and data manipulation.
- DuckDB can handle sparse data and has a powerful compression mechanism that can greatly reduce storage size.
- It integrates with popular data science libraries like pandas and NumPy, and can be used as a drop-in replacement for SQLite.
- The team is actively maintaining the project and is committed to making it a reliable and scalable solution for data analysis.
- DuckDB’s architecture is designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing it to handle different types of data and queries.
- It’s possible to persist data in a columnar storage format like Parquet and use DuckDB as the engine to query and analyze the data.
- The team is open to contributions and feedback from the community and encourages users to try it out and provide feedback.
