appendix Client APIs for DuckDB
So far, we’ve focused on either the DuckDB CLI or the Python integration. The former is not only the easiest and fastest way to bring up a DuckDB database and use it but also the smoothest way of teaching DuckDB without having to install a lot of things. The latter just follows naturally, as many of the analytics use cases of DuckDB are rooted in the broader Python world.
There is only so much you can put into one book, however, so the look we are taking at integrations in this appendix will be more concise. If you’re interested in other integrations, we assume you are familiar with concepts like the classpath for Java and are aware of dependency management for both Java and R.
