Changing data is hard: The computer may crash, scripts could fail, and data structures could be changing. Relational data management systems provide transactional (“ACID”) guarantees that can be immensely useful for data analysis. DuckDB provides all-or-nothing semantics for changes to datasets and is robust against failures of any kind. In this talk, we will illustrate the usefulness DuckDB’s transactional facilities to bring sanity to changes to data analysis workflows in Python.
