That DuckDB extension I was working on landed in community extensions today! I'm pretty excited about it -- prefiltered ACORN-1 HNSW approx nearest neighbours in #DuckDB. Even pgvector does postfiltering, for example. INSTALL hnsw_acorn FROM community; LOAD hnsw_acorn; github.com/duckdb/commu...

Hey #ElixirLang folks! Here's a little something I've been working on. I'd love some early stage feedback. dux.now

📈 Today, we are releasing DuckDB version 1.5.1, a patch release with bug fixes, performance improvements and support for the Lance lakehouse format. ➡️ duckdb.org/2026/03/23/a...

We're excited to announce duckdb-skills, a DuckDB plugin for Claude Code! We think the embedded nature of DuckDB makes it a perfect companion for Claude in your local workflows. Check out the repository at github.com/duckdb/duckd...

🦆 ↔️ 🦀 DuckDB Labs is looking for a Rust engineer to join our team in Amsterdam. 📝 See the details and application page at duckdblabs.com/jobs/rust_en...

@hannes.muehleisen.org I LOOOOVE DuckDB so much that I am presenting a "DuckDB 101" session at datatuneconf.com on March 7

Tired of digging through gov databases for H1B wage data? I built OpenH1B.org to make it easy. 500k records, DuckDB/Parquet tech, 200+ QPS speed. Search by ZIP for official DOL levels. https://openh1b.org #h1b #career #data #python

DuckDB was added to the wall of fame of CWI, next to Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm, the Atlantic Crossing of the Internet & the creation of Python On the occasion of our 80th (really!) bday Congrats to @hannes.muehleisen.org & @markraasveldt.bsky.social @duckdb.org @cwi-amsterdam.bsky.social

holy moly! great caesar's ghost! The DuckDB C extension template makes writing DuckDB extensions SO MUCH EASIER/FASTER. /me *is about to run amok making extensions*

I love this idea: duckdb.org/community_ex.... It translates dplyr syntax _inside_ of duckdb so you can mix it with regular SQL

I’m absolutely delighted to see @hannes.muehleisen.org talk for the first time in person. He is somehow using duckdb for his slides (of course), and talking about the joy of sql… if properly implemented.

🖥️ In today's “What's on your desk?” episode, @hannes.muehleisen.org tests the MOREFINE M700S computer. This computer ships with a Loongson processor that comes with its own CPU architecture. Despite this, DuckDB runs on it quite easily. See the details in the blog post. ➡️ duckdb.org/2026/01/06/d...

Yeay!! I wrote a very opinionated list of tips for working with DuckDB in R! Hope others find it useful. github.com/eriksquires/...

Hey folks! I built a Canadian trade database to practice what I'm learning about DuckDB. The database includes all Canadian imports and exports from 1988 to present as per Statistics Canada. Here's a blog post I wrote with more details: joshpersi.github.io/blog/posts/0... #rstats #duckdb

You can now query Iceberg catalogs with DuckDB – from the convenience of your browser. In our latest blog post, we break down how DuckDB's WebAssembly client makes this possible with zero setup and showcase it in action using Amazon S3 Tables. 👉 duckdb.org/2025/12/16/i...

Adieu Apache Derby, Welcome DuckDB modern-sql.com/blog/2025-12...

If you are into Iceberg or DuckDB, this is a major step: you can access existing Iceberg datasets, while they are appended on or updated by other users (possibly they can also be clicking buttons in a browser). This has been very fun, was looking forward to be able to properly share, thanks flock!

Found this fun bug in #Google Maps. The Austin airport jumps away and back quite far just by zooming...

In seven weeks, we will host the first DuckDB Developer Meeting in Amsterdam. We have four exciting talks lined up on building extensions in DuckDB, encryption in DuckDB, DuckPL and GizmoEdge. For more details and the registration links, please head to duckdb.org/events/2026/...

We are happy to announce DuckDB v1.4.3 LTS, our latest patch release. Along with bugfixes, this release ships native extensions and Python support for Windows ARM64. Head to duckdb.org/2025/12/09/a... for the announcement blog post and installation instructions.

This is the most exciting time ever to be working in data, and I'm not talking about AI. 3 years ago, I wrote a database-centric guide in my book for analyzing the full 92 million record 1910 Census. Now, with #rstats and @duckdb? Analyze those 92 million rows in seconds.

modern-sql.com now covers DuckDB.

In DuckDB v1.4.2, we shipped a number of features and improvements to the DuckDB-Iceberg extension: insert, update, and delete statements are all supported now. Read Tom Ebergen's new article on these features at duckdb.org/2025/11/28/i...

DuckDB v1.4 introduced the much-requested feature of database encryption. In our new blog post, @ccfelius.bsky.social and @hannes.muehleisen.org explain how the encryption works under the hood: duckdb.org/2025/11/19/e...

I’m thrilled to share that my new book (Spatial Data Management with DuckDB) is now published! 🎉 At 430 pages, this book provides a practical, hands-on guide to scalable geospatial analytics and visualization using DuckDB. All code examples are open-source and freely available on GitHub.

🚀 We released DuckDB v1.4.2, the second patch release of our LTS edition. 🔎 We are shipping new Iceberg features, improved logger/profiler integration and several bugfixes. The new DuckDB version can also read and write Vortex files. 📖 For more details, read duckdb.org/2025/11/12/a...

This profile in ‘Significance’ on DuckDB co-founder Hannes Mühleisen is quite interesting, and has helpful insights about data quality and the changing meaning of “big data.” Also some good professional advice in here for statisticians. academic.oup.com/jrssig/artic...

We took Canada’s Spatial Access Measures dataset (big, clunky CSVs) → turned it into a single GeoParquet file. Add DuckDB-WASM + deck.gl & you get - instant queries - smooth maps - no backend Public data, but actually usable. developmentseed.org/blog/2025-10... @saadiqmohiuddin.bsky.social

pg_lake just went open source! (Apache 2.0) pg_lake is a set of extensions (from Crunchy Data Warehouse) that add comprehensive Iceberg support and data lake access to Postgres, with @duckdb.org transparently integrated into the query engine. Announcement blog: www.snowflake.com/en/engineeri...

ML quacks: Combining duckdb and mlpack dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2025/10... A 'minimally viable product / demo' of extending @duckdb.org with #mlpack

I'm grateful that Jack Waudby gave me the chance to set the CTE record straight on his @disseminatepodcast.bsky.social. Hear us talk about what you can do with iterative queries in SQL, how efficient variants of recursion in SQL found their way into @duckdb.org, and how trampolines come into play.

Learn how to build powerful yet lightweight #data workflows using #Python, #DuckDB, and #Smallpond with Valery C. Briz, #Pythonista, senior #dataengineer on the 23rd of October in our #online #workshop 18:00-19:30 CEST Register here: www.meetup.com/pyladiesams/...

🚀 We released DuckDB v1.4.1, the first bugfix release of our LTS edition. 🔎 We expect LTS users to be particularly curious about changes in the system, so we wrote up a short blog post highlighting the most important fixes and improvements. duckdb.org/2025/10/07/a...

Today's Future Data Systems Seminar Speaker: Jordan Tigani (@jrdntgn.bsky.social) will present how @motherduck.com supports modern workloads with DuckLake. Zoom talk open to public at 4:30pm ET. YouTube video available after: db.cs.cmu.edu/events/futur...

✨ We launched a new installation page for DuckDB! 🚀 The new page lets you install the latest stable DuckDB release with just one or two clicks. If the defaults don't fit your use case, no worries: alternative download methods remain available for many clients.

After trying @duckdb.org with terabytes of parquet I'm hardly going back for data exploration to anything else. Hell, I'm now spawning DuckDB for analyzing even .csv and .json files due to how ergonomic its SQL is.

We published a new deep dive by Laurens Kuiper, who recently redesigned DuckDB's sort. One data point: ordering the TPC-H SF100 lineitem table with the memory limit set to 30 GB is 3× faster in DuckDB v1.4 than in v1.3. Read more at duckdb.org/2025/09/24/s...

🚀 We released version 0.3 of the DuckLake specification and the DuckDB ducklake extension today. It includes interoperability with Iceberg, support for geometry types and more. Check the announcement blog for more details ducklake.select/2025/09/17/d...
