DuckDB – June 23, 2026

CASD invites you to a new Web Data Tech session dedicated to DuckDB.

A previous webinar on Parquet/DuckDB focused primarily on the Parquet format. This session will center on the DuckDB tool itself and the numerous features that make it essential for high-performance data processing today. Key topics will include:

• General architectural features (In-process, database file, configurationless, vectorization, etc.)

• Syntax features (FROM-first, negative SELECT, etc.)

• Window functions – for calculations across groups of rows (rank, lag, etc.)

• Disk and RAM optimization: encoding, streaming, RAM limits, etc.

• Extensions and modules (UI, Spatial, Parquet, S3, etc.)

• Usage examples with R, Python, and Julia
