It supports multi-buffer joins, schema inspection, data validation with inline diagnostics, and result export. The plugin provides interactive UI with floating windows, automatic file type detection, and leverages DuckDB's parser to identify and pinpoint data errors. Installation requires Neovim 0.7+ and the DuckDB shared library, with setup available through lazy.nvim, packer.nvim, or vim-plug. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
