Dataframes

Learn about TileDB’s support for dataframes.

A dataframe is a data structure that commonly represents tabular data, but is not exclusive to tables. The terminology is often associated with R’s data.frame or the Python pandas package. TileDB natively supports returning any dataset, whether it’s tabular or not, to R’s data.frame, and in Python to a pandas DataFrame, or an Apache Arrow Table. Returning a dataframe works when using SQL, or the TileDB language-specific slicing APIs. Read the Tables Quickstart tutorial for an overview on using dataframes.
