Is SQL faster than Python?
Using the python and SQL code seen below, I used the smaller dataset to first test the transformations. Python and SQL completed the task in 591 and 40.9 seconds respectively. This means that SQL was able to provide a speed-up of roughly 14.5X! while SQL took 226 seconds.
Which is faster SQL or pandas?
