I currently build a piece of software which will need a lot of bog-standard SQL queries against an in-memory database. I was (and am) going with SQLite, but a good friend of mine who Knows About Databases™ told me recently that currently, DuckDB is the hot stuff among in-memory databases - but mainly for complex (read: OLAP) queries.
In this article I explore whether DuckDB or SQLite is the better (read: faster) alternative for my simple queries.
