We're not completely there yet, but with Query.jl and StructuredQueries.jl, combined with JuliaDB/JuliaData packages, one should be able to work on out-of-memory data sets as (or more) efficiently as e.g. SAS. The high-level API is the same whether you work on a DataFrame or on an external data base.
There's also OnlineStats.jl for computing statistics without loading the full data set in memory at once.
