Name sounded familiar. Read the post, loved the weirdness of it. Then, flashback. Oracle sqlnet! The original distributed processing framework of the greybeards and Oak Table knights. Anyone remember Oak Table?

Got some interesting uses from the new DuckDB UI tool from Motherduck. Can be used as the query editor for Iceberg data lakes

Python support of Iceberg seems to be the biggest unrealized opportunity right now. SQL support seems to be in good shape, with DuckDB and such, but Python support is still quite nascent.

We did an evaluation of various REST catalog options and went with Open Catalog from Snowflake (a Polaris-based managed service that works independently from their data warehousing solution). Lakekeeper is nice - it's one of the few catalogs with FGAC and table maintenance.

I feel a little helpless in this matter, but I would very much like to somehow influence this situation. While trying to save water, electricity, sort waste, buy less, buy used things more often. You can at least come up with an application that will calculate how much each of these actions helps the planet, for example.
