Your channel is very small, and yet you unexpectedly gave us that very important disclosure at the start of the video. A very strong thumbs up is warranted just for that 👍 I hope you maintain this level of integrity for the rest of your career.
I am a data engineer and duckdb has saved me so much time when wrangling data. I now scrape my csv or json files and dump it straight into duckDB. It auto infers the columns and datatypes in seconds. I then clean it up in duckDB and push it to our prod postgresDB
Structured my whole biotech startup around duckdb as a query engine, have not regretted it even once...even though I have run into quite some obscure blockers at times... The thing is so easy to use, and it turns out it really makes our "big data" totally workable on a single laptop.
Great interview as always! It’s funny, I’ve been picking up R again and ran into duckDB through dbplyr just a few days ago. The experience was seamless. I was really impressed by how easily it worked with all the dplyr verbs.
This could not have been more timely for me to make use of this info at work. We're about to assess embedded DB options for a backend service we're developing and duckdb sure sounds like it does all of the things that made sqlite look promising and much more! Thank you for posting consistently interesting in-depth discussions that aren't leveled down for non-experts!
Update: I posted this comment before I got to the end of the video and discovered the next DuckConf is in my proverbial backyard. I'll be there and I'll see if I can talk a co-worker or two into attending as well 😂
I can understand that. The way I see it, the whole of computing is fair game, so there will always be episodes on databases. Not every episode will appeal to everyone, but at 50 episodes a year I think that'll balance out. 🙂

I love DuckDB so much. great episode! Im gonna pick up this book for sure.

Awesome to get to see Simon talk in a long-form podcast. He's usually behind the scenes at conferences/meetups here in Aus! Great episode.
Just found out about this channel yesterday through my recommendations. Love your interviews!
Thanks!

Awesome pod cast(s) - always impressive; real-world head on collision; Keep it up;
Been going down the Duck, erm, rabbit hole the last few weeks and it’s already made me decide to switch our Spark jobs to Duck. Quack quack!
Wow I really need to try DuckDB. I have had use cases in the past where I didn't use it, and I wish I'd known.
That intro 😆
I like your episodes more when you do not talk about databases.
Then... don't watch the database episodes?
Guess you’re the only one :)
