About DuckDB
DuckDB is an in-process SQL OLAP database management system based in the Netherlands. Designed for analytical workloads, it runs within a host process rather than as a standalone server. The software features a columnar storage engine and supports SQL queries on various data sources including Parquet, JSON, and S3. It provides native client APIs for languages such as Python, R, Java, and Go, and integrates with data science tools like Pandas and Jupyter. The platform includes an extension mechanism for geospatial and cloud storage features and is released under the MIT open-source license.
