What is this Python project?

DuckDB is an in-process SQL OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) database management system. It is designed for fast analytical queries on large datasets and integrates seamlessly with Python through the DuckDB package.

Key features.

Embeddable: Runs in-process like SQLite, no server required.
OLAP-focused: Optimized for analytics and columnar storage.
Native Python support: Includes Pandas, NumPy, and Parquet integration.
Zero setup: Works out of the box without configuration.
Cross-platform and lightweight.

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

DuckDB vs SQLite: SQLite is optimized for transactional workloads (OLTP), while DuckDB is optimized for analytical workloads (OLAP).
DuckDB vs PostgreSQL: PostgreSQL is a full server-client RDBMS; DuckDB is in-process, minimal setup, and better suited for quick analytics.
