fugue VS pg-mem

Please integrate it with Fugue.

Fugue is an interesting library in this space , though I haven’t tried it

A unified interface for distributed computing. Fugue executes SQL, Python, and Pandas code on Spark, Dask and Ray without any rewrites.

This looks similar to fugue, am I right? How do they compare?

I am looking forward to how Substrait could help removing this friction. It aims to provide a standardised intermediate query language (lower level than SQL) to connect frontend user interfaces like SQL or data frame libraries with backend analytical computing engines. It is linked to the Arrow ecosystem. Something like Ibis or Fugue could become the front and DuckDB the backend engine.

There's dask-sql, but I think it is being abandoned for fugue-project. I'm actually excited for this project as it is trying to provide a backend agnostic solution, which would seem like a difficult, lofty goal. I wish them luck.

I've used pgmem https://github.com/oguimbal/pg-mem for the last couple of years for the same thing.

I was wondering the other day how to classify tests that use a test double like pg-mem, which isn't a mock but isn't the Dockerized test DB either :

In my case, I use TypeORM with PostgreSQL, and there's pg-mem to run an instance in memory, it supports most of the common functionality of PostgreSQL but you will need to do some adjustment to your code to be within the limits.

Postgres in the browser is possible through pg-mem: "pg-mem is an experimental in-memory emulation of a postgres database" but it also suffers from no persistence. If you can persist to a file somewhere then read it in on startup (and if your local data isn't huge) this might work.

Dont get me wrong: I am trying to contribute to opensource as well, so I get that supporting small projects can be demanding. There's nothing wrong in not spending your weekends on OS. But not asking for help, nor specifying that a project is unmaintained, nor even answering issues & pull requests for years feels just wrong.

Okay, I had a bit of spare time,I've implemented that, and it is now available with [email protected]

To get a glimpse of what I'm talking about, you can clone this repo and follow "Development" instructions (by the way this is a small OS lib I maintain, I wrote about it here)
