duckdbC++ core
An in-process SQL OLAP database management system; optimized for analytics and fast queries, similar to SQLite but for analytical workloads.
These databases run inside your Python process, with no server to deploy. DuckDB is an analytical SQL engine: it queries Parquet, CSV and JSON files directly, as well as pandas and Polars DataFrames in memory, and is a common replacement for heavy DataFrame code on large local datasets. chDB embeds the ClickHouse engine in the same way, which helps if you already write ClickHouse SQL.
