I guess this is a response to pg_duckdb which had its initial release last week: https://github.com/duckdb/pg_duckdb
Love the competition though. Looking forward to trying both of them when they are in RDS.
Trying to find out what this is / what DuckDB is. Go to website, see completely meaningless splash screen that doesn't tell you anything useful. Go to Documentation, see usage information, absolutely no information about what this actually is. Go to FAQ, still no information about what this is.
Is there some new rule about tech-focused startups where you're not allowed to tell somebody what it actually is / how it works / what it's used for, because you're afraid people will find out it's not for them?
edit ah after going back and poking around the website more, I finally found the "Why DuckDB" buried halfway in a menu. Still not a great summary, so Googling led me to understand it's SQLite for analytics. Maybe i'm the weirdo for wanting to see that first?
Yeah, it's kind of weird that sometimes looking for a thing on wikipedia gives a better description of that thing than just being able to read a "Here's what we do..." on their home page. :/
In some ways :). We've come to learn this feature should be truly open to the community, and are doing what we can to provide options to people. We had already done the work, so might as well make it accessible to as many as possible! :)
Please update the title. Suggestion: Pg_analytics has switched to PostgreSQL license
When I first read this, I thought it's a smirk on pg_analytics being some kind of a wrapper around PostgreSQL and that they license and charge you for using it, kind of like how AWS is famous for wrapping various open-source projects and selling them.
I know right! We worked with this individual designer from Reddit. If you want their name, shoot me an email/linkedin/etc. and I'll connect you. He was great to work with.
