If JuliaDB is an abandoned project (it appears to be, due to the lack of development in the past few years, and the exceedingly old dependency versions), what is the alternative that the community is supposed to be using?
Is the standard in julia now to simply use Dagger.jl for everything?

It would be great if we had a standard that was as well accepted and developed as something like SQLite, that has the attractive features of JuliaDB.
I have tried out DuckDB with hopes to find out-of-core and parallel query capability, but it fell short of that on groupby operations, unfortunately.

I was excited for JuliaDB, but it seems to be only compatible with the julia of the distant past.

Yes, JuliaDB is effectively abandoned and not receiving necessary maintenance.

Dagger's DTable is in the process of gaining support for the DataFrames mini-language, disk caching, and more as Dagger evolves, so yes, I'd say that Dagger is the alternative to switch to.

since one year i switched to Questdb connected to DataFrames. Tutorials available on how to connect the database with Julia.
