Years of unpicking others use of Rs sqldf (which by default used to copy the entire data frame to a SQLite db, run the query, the copy the result set back) when they complained their R code was to slow has taught me a visceral, negative to the name and pattern.

Glad to to see duckDB delivering, finally, on the promise of running SQL against in-memory dataframes
