This hands-on workshop in English is for everyone looking for a free, fast and simple to use database for analysing large amounts of data. Paraphrasing from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDB):
...DuckDB (https://duckdb.org) is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) originally developed by Mark Raasveldt and Hannes Mühleisen at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands and first released in 2019.... The project has over 6 million downloads per month... DuckDB is used at Facebook, Google, and Airbnb...
The followings will be covered:
- What is DuckDB?
- Why DuckDB?
- Using DuckDB via the command line interface (CLI)
- Using DuckDB via graphical user interfaces (GUI)
- Using DuckDB via the Structured Query Language (SQL)
- Using DuckDB via the Python programming language
- Comparing DuckDB with Apache Spark/Databricks
- Scaling DuckDB with MotherDuck
- Artificial intelligence (AI) use cases
