What DuckDB is
- An embedded analytical database from CWI Amsterdam, maintained by DuckDB Labs with the IP held by a non-profit foundation.
- Vectorised columnar execution across all cores.
- Reads Parquet, CSV, JSON, S3 and live PostgreSQL
tables without loading them first. - Included as the analytical contrast, not an OLTP option: no replication, single-process write path.
