Publisher's Synopsis
DuckDB is an open-source relational database. It is an embedded database. There's no database server; all you need to create and access all database objects is a client.
DuckDB is designed to support OLAP (Online Analytic Processing) workload. In OLAP data is generally loaded in bulk. DuckDB provides a COPY FROM statement, which is used to ingest (bulk load) external data. External data can be delimited text, Parquet, or JSON files. You will learn the features of the COPY FROM statement. When you finish reading this book and trying its examples, you would have equipped yourself with the data ingestion skills ready to participate in real-world development projects.
