@suvayu suggested an addition to the dataset chapter:

I was thinking maybe piccolo deserves a mention here, considering it's much simpler, and probably better fit for smaller projects.

And @f-hafner suggested Ibis. From a cursory look, I think it's a good suggestion.

We should be careful how we include stuff though, don't want to turn it into an awesome list.

Exactly @suvayu. One typical criterion for including specific libraries is that we have actual experience with it, applying it for research purposes (or e.g. that we know it is used successfully by other RSEs). Another is, of course, that our experience was good enough that we want to encourage others to use it :) There are always exceptions, but indeed we don't want the Guide to be a complete list of every possible library and tool.

So, do Piccolo and Ibis fit this description?

I've used both Piccolo and SQLAlchemy in smaller projects (a bit, not extensively), Piccolo was infinitely easier to think about and use.

I haven't used Ibis.
