clickhouse-local is a powerful alternative.

It's fast. But it's also a 1-2gb binary. And its SQL implementation is work in progress and often makes up its own names for common functions.

If you can put up with both for an adhoc cli exploration tool then yeah it's incredible.

For analytics queries in general though (not talking about clickhouse-local) I don't think there's any OSS competition.

The large binary size argument is a bit old.

It seems possible to reduce it below 50MB.
