DuckDB vs SQLite for local file analysis.

SQLite is brilliant as an embedded application database. DuckDB is different: it is built for analytical queries and local data analysis workflows.

For Bendit, DuckDB is the better fit because the product is centered on importing files, transforming columns, aggregating data and exporting analytical results.

Example

select
  region,
  count(*) as rows,
  sum(amount) as total_amount
from imported_file
group by region
order by total_amount desc;

Where Bendit fits

Bendit is a practical desktop layer around this workflow: import file, inspect columns, write SQL, preview result, export clean output.
