Hello,

Will it be possible to stream the event for the GPUG users? A
screen-share and audio would be adequate for us up North.

Regards,

Neil Muller

Hi

description of my talk below:

PRQL: a modern language for transforming data - a simple, powerful, pipelined SQL replacement.

This talk will introduce PRQL and pyprql, showcasing how it makes it easier to work with your data. PRQL transpiles to SQL so you can use it wherever you currently use SQL, including relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, Modern Data Warehouses such as BigQuery and RedShift and even DataFrame libraries like Pandas and Polars. PRQL has many integrations, including Javascript, Python, R, CLI, ... that make it easy to start using PRQL right away. This talk will demonstrate some of these with interactive examples that you can try for yourself afterwards.

PRQL is completely open source (Apache 2.0 licensed) and volunteer driven and is committed to staying that way forever, avoiding vendor lock-in and remaining free to use for everyone.

To learn more about PRQL, go to our [website](https://prql-lang.org/), [Github Repo](https://github.com/prql/prql) or try it out in our [online playground](https://prql-lang.org/playground/)!
