The article discusses the advantages of using DuckDB and SQL for data science tasks, particularly for those accustomed to pandas and Polars. It emphasizes that essential functions like centering a variable and computing rolling statistics are not only possible in SQL but also straightforward. The article outlines reasons to prefer SQL over dataframe APIs, including stability, portability, and widespread understanding among analysts and data scientists. Despite some limitations in classic SQL, DuckDB's 'Friendly SQL' simplifies the process, making it user-friendly for data manipulation.
You may have heard about DuckDB's impressive robustness and performance. Perhaps you want to try it out - BUT WAIT, you're a data scientist and are used to pandas and/or Polars, not SQL.
