What would you expect from a good visual Parquet workflow for DuckDB users?
Hi DuckDB community,
Disclosure: I’m from Paradigma Software, the team behind Valentina Studio.
Some users asked us whether Valentina Studio could support working with local Parquet files.
In response, we added Parquet support in Valentina Studio 17.4, and I’m curious whether it covers the workflows DuckDB users actually need.
In the Free edition user can open Parquet file, read it, work with it in SQL Editor, having AI Chat assistance.
In the Pro edition more tools integrated to work/edit/manage parquet files in the same way as a local DB: for example DuckDB files or SQLite files.
- Schema Editor — inspect Parquet schema and column types
- Data Editor — browse file content visually, including nested/list/struct values
- Data transfer - move records from/to Parquet to/from any other supported DB.
- Report Editor - Parquet can be used as data source.
For those of you who work with Parquet regularly — do you have any wish-list for features or workflow improvements?
P.S. VStudio available on Mac, Windows 32/64/arm, Lin x64/arm
