for something a bit more robust, check out DuckDB. It's a library you can embed, use it to run SQL on local files as well as connect to databases, do joins, analytics, etc.
Agreed. The article mentioned duckdb and I'm her to thumbs-up the use of DuckDB wholeheartedly. If you like the world of public CSV files as data sources that you can query or cross-query, duckdb is the tool for you. Just follow the demo on the duckdb website and you'll be wow'd for sure.
I use both, and I have found it helpful to have nushell around when munging csv and parquet files, even when working with duckdb - I find it quicker to ask for the first few rows of a thing or do simple stuff with it, then deeper analysis with duckdb.
