The MariaDB Jupyter Kernel – Robert Bindar – FOSDEM 2021

The MariaDB Jupyter kernel aims to improve the interaction with your data, it allows you to run MariaDB directly in a Jupyter notebook.

You can display the results of your favorite SELECTs in Matplotlib graphics or export them into a DataFrame in another Python Notebook through database specific %magic commands.

This talk covers the current state of the MariaDB kernel, the existing features, how to install and use it and how we imagine it should look like in terms of functionalities in the near future.

It also explains the inner structure of the kernel, how to pass different configuration options and shows demos for some of the most common use cases.

There is no background knowledge expected to understand the content of this talk, if you’ve ever used a Jupyter notebook, a SQL database or both, or you’d just love to learn about these technologies, you’re more than welcome to attend.
