No, the EC2 instance doesn't have 500GB of data. Does DuckDB require that? I actually downloaded the data from S3 to local EBS and still choked.

Works fine for me on TB+ datasets. Maybe you were doing in-memory rather than persistent database and running out of RAM? https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/clients/cli/overview.html#in-...

Wait, do you insert the data from S3 into duckdb? I was just doing select from file.

Nope, just reading from S3. Check this out: https://duckdb.org/2024/07/09/memory-management.html

Maybe its your terminal that chockes because it tries to display to much data? 500GB should be no problem.
