ok That sounds pretty interesting.. i am curious to find out when I would use this over parquet or pandas.

parquet is just a data file format. Both pandas and DuckDB can query parquet files.

It might be confusing that DuckDB does have its own columnar format, but it's more helpful to think it like "just a query engine (or library) for wrangling tables (or data frames)", i.e. same as pandas.
