can we all agree to never store datasets uncompressed. duckdb supports reading many compression formats


How much impact do the various compression formats have on query performance?


huh. could you tell how you use it in ci?


I'm using it for a service that has DB dependencies. Instead of using SQLite in tests and PG in production, or spinning up a Postgres container, you use Postgres via pglite.

In my case, the focus is on DX ie faster tests. I load shared database from `pglite-schema.tgz` (~1040ms) instead of running migrations from a fresh DB and then use transaction rollback isolation (~10ms per test).

This is a lot faster and more convenient than spinning up a container. Test runs are 5x faster.

I'm hoping to get this working on a python service soon as well (with py-pglite).


Thank you for the details. This makes a lot of sense!


jj has msvc builds and is still tire 1 target maybe something particular about your configuration?


I want it to be cygwin native, i.e. passing calls through the cygwin posix layer and not use the windows binary. Sure I can use the windows binary, but that is a different thing.
