I think the advantage is simplicity. Why connect first to duckdb and attach the db when you can query it directly with ADBC which is guaranteed to be fast

Yeah for me standardization is the big win. But not just output formatting but cli commands and a guarantee that they’re as past as possible given that all the connectors use ADBC

hiya, anders from dbt here. cool project -- I especially love the branching and budgeting options you've built in. both are things that I'd love for the dbt standard to include one day. was it dbt's lack of those feature that

ok, this is definitely up my alley. color me nerd-sniped and forgive the onslaught of questions. my questions are less about the syntax, which i'm largely familiar with knowing both SQL and ggplot. i'm more interested in the backe

TIL about Verse looks cool I'll have to check it out. > SQL is not a pipeline, it is a graph. Maybe it's both? and maybe there will always be hard-to-express queries in SQL, and that's ok? the RDBMS's relational model

I agree that CTEs help solve the problem of being able to read a SQL query from top to bottom, but I wouldn't say they're a panacea! Personally, it's weird to me that `FROM` (scan) comes after `SELECT` (projection). IMHO the

same! but if you get it inevitably wrong the first time it gives you the pinyin. but i struggled to get it to transcribe the consonants I was making let alone the tones. i'm pretty sure i'm not as bad as that!
