DuckDB is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that supports the Structured Query Language (SQL). It is designed to support Online Analytical Processing(OLAP), and it is well suited for performing data analytics.

Unliketraditional database systems where you need to install them, DuckDB requires no installation and works in-process. Because on this, DuckDB can run queries directly on Pandas data without needing to import or copy any data. Moreover, DuckDB uses vectorized data processing which makes it very efficient – internally the data are stored in columnar format rather than row-format (which is commonly used by databases systems such as MySQL and SQLite).In this workshop, you will learn how to use DuckDB to perform data analytics.
