My experience has been that most of the time you don’t tell DuckDB to insert data. One is expected to point DuckDB to an existing data file (parquet, csv, json with this new release, etc.) and either import/copy the data into DuckDB tables, or issue SQL queries directly against the file.

Think of it as a SQL engine for ad-hoc querying larger-than-memory datasets.
