DuckDB

Analytical SQL database that runs in-process inside Python, Node.js and other applications, with a WebAssembly build for browsers.

DuckDB is an analytical SQL database that runs in the same process as the application that uses it. Its Python client is installed with pip. Its Node.js client is installed with npm. The install page also lists a command line build, installed with a script or run from a Docker image.

DuckDB-Wasm compiles the engine to WebAssembly, so a full DuckDB engine can run inside a visitor’s browser, on any device, as the wasm overview describes.
