At #DuckCon in Amsterdam, a huge crowd! #Databases

Planning to attend #duckcon on Thursday in #seattle, if anyone wants to say hi.

(It’s free & there are still tickets)

Interesting talk from the recent #DuckDB #DuckCon: "Data is Rectangular and Other Common Misconceptions".

Makes an analogy between assembly language and #SQL as difficult to use low-level interfaces, with assembly finally being displaced by C which was both easier to use and provided *complete* functional coverage.

Will there ever be a similar displacement of SQL? People have tried and failed for like 50 years.

My takeaway from #duckcon: everybody's building shims on top and below SQL.
