The Google Ads API is the modern programmatic interface to Google Ads and the next generation of the AdWords API and it is a paid online advertising platform offered by Google. Google Ads is a paid search channel. Google Ads is a key digital marketing tool for any business which is looking to get meaningful ad copy in front of its target audience. Google AdWords is a well known marketplace where companies pay to have their website ranked at the top of a search results page, based on keywords.
DuckDB is an in-process SQL OLAP database management system. It has strong support for SQL. DuckDB is borrowing the SQLite shell implementation. Each database is a single file on disk. It’s analogous to “ SQLite for analytical (OLAP) workloads” (direct comparison on the SQLite vs DuckDB paper here), whereas SQLite is for OLTP ones. But it can handle vast amounts of data locally. It’s the smaller, lighter version of Apache Druid and other OLAP technologies.
