What is DuckDB?
DuckDB is a relational (table-oriented) DBMS that supports the Structured Query Language (SQL).
DuckDB is designed to support analytical query workloads, also known as Online analytical processing (OLAP). These workloads are characterized by complex, relatively long-running queries that process significant portions of the stored dataset, for example aggregations over entire tables or joins between several large tables. Changes to the data are expected to be rather large-scale as well, with several rows being appended, or large portions of tables being changed or added at the same time.
DuckDB has no external dependencies, neither for compilation nor during run-time. For releases, the entire source tree of DuckDB is compiled into two files, a header and an implementation file, a so-called “amalgamation”. This greatly simplifies deployment and integration in other build processes. For building, all that is required to build DuckDB is a working C++11 compiler.
For DuckDB, there is no DBMS server software to install, update and maintain. DuckDB does not run as a separate process, but completely embedded within a host process. For the analytical use cases that DuckDB targets, this has the additional advantage of high-speed data transfer to and from the database. In some cases, DuckDB can process foreign data without copying. For example, the DuckDB Python package can run queries directly on Pandas data without ever importing or copying any data.

In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Pandas to visualize data. We will cover various techniques and code snippets to create insightful visualizations. Let's dive in!
1- Import the necessary libraries:
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
2- Load the data into a Pandas DataFrame:
To filter data using Pandas, one effective approach is to utilize boolean indexing. This powerful technique allows you to select rows from a DataFrame based on specific conditions.
By applying boolean indexing, you can easily extract the desired subset of data that meets certain criteria. Below, I have provided some
