DuckDB performance improvements with the latest release
I'm not sure if the fix is reassuring or not: https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/pull/9411/files
Just had a look (https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/issues/9399). Yeah it's worrying that such a trivial query returned incorrect results - but credit to the Devs for getting it fixed quickly.
To my knowledge the only databases that can be described as "military-grade" in terms of testing are SQLite and Postgres.

Building a Distributed Data Warehouse Without Data Lakes
It's an interesting question!
The problem is that the data is spread everywhere - no choice about that. So with that in mind, how do you query that data? Today, the idea is that you HAVE to put it into a central location. With tools like Bacalhau[1] and DuckDB [2], you no longer have to - a single query can be sharded amongst all your data - EFFECTIVELY giving you a lot of what you want from a data lake.
It's not a replacement, but if you can do a few of these items WITHOUT moving the data, you will be able to see really significant cost and time savings.

Show HN: Hydra 1.0 – open-source column-oriented Postgres
it depends on your query obviously.
In general, I did very deep benchmarking of pg, clickhouse and duckdb, and I sure didn't make stupid mistakes like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36990831
My dataset has 50B rows and 2tb of data, and I think columnar dbs are very overhiped and I chose pg because:
- pg performance is acceptable, maybe 2-3x times slower than clickhouse and duckdb on some queries if pg is configured correctly and run on compressed storage
- clickhouse and duckdb start falling apart very fast because they specialized on very narrow type of queries: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47520 https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47521 https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/discussions/6696

Using SQL inside Python pipelines with Duckdb, Glaredb (and others?)

CSV or Parquet File Format
The Parquet-Go library is very complex, not yet success to use it. So I ask whether DuckDB can provide API https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/issues/7776

DuckDB 0.8.0
Another cool new feature that's not mentioned in the blog post is function chaining:
https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/pull/6725
I've been using DuckDB for filtering and post-processing data, specially strings, and this will make writing complex queries easier. By combining nested functions[0] and text functions[1], sometimes I don't even need to go into a Python notebook.

Wazero: Zero dependency WebAssembly runtime written in Go
Never got it to anything close to a finished state, instead moving on to doing the same prototype in llvm and then cranelift.
That said, here's some of the wazero-based code on a branch - https://github.com/cube2222/octosql/tree/wasm-experiment/was...
It really is just a very very basic prototype.

DuckDB: Querying JSON files as if they were tables
This is really cool!
With their Postgres scanner[0] you can now easily query multiple datasources using SQL and join between them (i.e. Postgres table with JSON file). Something I strived to build with OctoSQL[1] before.
It's amazing to see how quickly DuckDB is adding new features.
Not a huge fan of C++, which is right now used for authoring extensions, it'd be really cool if somebody implemented a Rust extension SDK, or even something like Steampipe[2] does for Postgres FDWs which would provide a shim for quickly implementing non-performance-sensitive extensions for various things.
Godspeed!

Show HN: ClickHouse-local – a small tool for serverless data analytics
Congrats on the Show HN!
It's great to see more tools in this area (querying data from various sources in-place) and the Lambda use case is a really cool idea!
I've recently done a bunch of benchmarking, including ClickHouse Local and the usage was straightforward, with everything working as it's supposed to.
Just to comment on the performance area though, one area I think ClickHouse could still possibly improve on - vs OctoSQL[0] at least - is that it seems like the JSON datasource is slower, especially if only a small part of the JSON objects is used. If only a single field of many is used, OctoSQL lazily parses only that field, and skips the others, which yields non-trivial performance gains on big JSON files with small queries.
Basically, for a query like `SELECT COUNT(*), AVG(overall) FROM books.json` with the Amazon Review Dataset, OctoSQL is twice as fast (3s vs 6s). That's a minor thing though (OctoSQL will slow down for more complicated queries, while for ClickHouse decoding the input is and remains the bottleneck).

Steampipe – Select * from Cloud;
To add somewhat of a counterpoint to the other response, I've tried the Steampipe CSV plugin and got 50x slower performance vs OctoSQL[0], which is itself 5x slower than something like DataFusion[1]. The CSV plugin doesn't contact any external API's so it should be a good benchmark of the plugin architecture, though it might just not be optimized yet.
That said, I don't imagine this ever being a bottleneck for the main use case of Steampipe - in that case I think the APIs themselves will always be the limiting part. But it does - potentially - speak to what you can expect if you'd like to extend your usage of Steampipe to more than just DevOps data.

Go runtime: 4 years later
Actually, folks just use gRPC or Yaegi in Go.
See Terraform[0], Traefik[1], or OctoSQL[2].
Although I agree plugins would be welcome, especially for performance reasons, though also to be able to compile and load go code into a running go process (JIT-ish).

Beginner interested in learning SQL. Have a few question that I wasn’t able to find on google.
Through more magic, you COULD of course use stuff like Spark, or easier with programs like TextQL, sq, OctoSQL.
