DuckDB inside Postgres!!??

The integration of DuckDB within PostgreSQL has garnered attention due to PostgreSQL's limitations in handling online analytical processing (OLAP) tasks on larger datasets. DuckDB is noted for its speed and is seen as a solution to enhance PostgreSQL's analytical capabilities. To evaluate this integration, a setup involving PostgreSQL with the DuckDB extension and a dataset of 50 million records is required. The process includes creating a Docker container for PostgreSQL, importing the dataset, and running performance queries. Initial tests may not always show a significant performance improvement with DuckDB compared to PostgreSQL, leading to questions about the integration's effectiveness. However, the integration offers innovative data processing methods, such as reading datasets like Iceberg and writing back to cloud storage. The data engineering community is encouraged to critically assess the performance claims and mechanics of this integration.
