Firebird VS duckdb

Database, FirebirdSQL

I'm not sure if the fix is reassuring or not: https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/pull/9411/files

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.

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

This action installs duckdb with the version provided in input.

Duckdb: https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb - seems pretty popular, been keeping an eye on this for close to a year now.

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
