In this comprehensive session, we dive deep into DuckDB, a cutting-edge, open-source analytical database that operates in-process, making it incredibly fast and efficient for data wrangling tasks. DuckDB stands out in the world of databases due to its unique architecture, which allows it to function without the need for a traditional client-server setup. This talk begins with an overview of DuckDB’s capabilities and then transitions into a hands-on exploration of how it can be used to wrangle complex datasets with ease.
We'll discuss the advantages and limitations of using an embedded SQL database like DuckDB compared to more traditional client-server architectures, helping you understand when and why DuckDB might be the best tool for your data processing needs. The session culminates in a live demonstration where we put DuckDB to the test, benchmarking its performance against other popular data processing systems. Whether you're a data professional looking to streamline your workflows or simply curious about emerging database technologies, this talk offers valuable insights and practical knowledge.
