Description

Hello,

I needed DuckDB as a database because it is much faster. Simply connecting to the SQLite database through DuckDB didn’t work, it was actually slower than SQLite itself.

At first, I wrote a script to convert the Sqlite to DuckDB, but that was wasting too much memory on the Sqlite Database. So I forked slurm2sql and built a DuckDB integration with the --duckdb command-line argument to output a DuckDB directly. If you’re interested in merging it into the main repo, let me know.

Research direction

The issue mentions a proposed --duckdb command-line argument and an existing fork, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the command-line argument handling and output-database code, then compare the fork's integration; done means DuckDB output works through the command-line option without the reported SQLite conversion overhead.
