Hugging Face has introduced a new SQL console that allows users to run SQL queries directly on over 200,000 public datasets available on its platform. Powered by DuckDB and WebAssembly, the SQL console enables users to query, filter, and explore datasets without the need to download them. This feature aims to enhance data analytics by providing real-time insights and the ability to share SQL queries via URL. Users can also export query results as parquet files. The new console is available in the browser, making it convenient for data analysts and researchers to access and manipulate data efficiently. As an example, users can check out positive samples in the IMDB dataset.
