Missed out on attending #DuckCon in Amsterdam or via the livestream? 🦆📺 Don’t worry, you can still catch up with all the news and roadmap announcements from “The State of the Duck” keynote right here: Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFPK... Slides: blobs.duckdb.org/events/duckc... #DuckDB

🦆 There's only one week to go until DuckCon #7 in Amsterdam! We are all hyped to meet the flock and learn about the latest cool use cases from our community. As always, the event will feature the “State of the Duck” talk from DuckDB's co-creators.

Today, we are releasing DuckDB v1.4.5 and v1.5.4. Yes, we know – these version numbers can be a bit confusing! That's why we wrote two blog posts this time. The thread helps you pick the right one 🧵

I built a SQL trainer that runs entirely in the browser: DuckDB-WASM, no backend. Nine lessons from SELECT to window functions and EXPLAIN, each with exercises graded against a reference solution. Static site on GitHub Pages oluies.github.io/sql-concepts...

When the sea lion learns to quack: #DuckDB now swims into #MariaDB 🦭🦆 mariadb.org/duckdb-stora...

What's new in DuckDB and how does DuckDB fit into old shell scripts? These are topics that our DevRel Gábor covered at Ubuntu Summit 2026. His talk explained three aspects of DuckDB: a command-line tool, a portable database, and a client-server database. duckdb.org/library/duck...

#DuckDB has announced Quack - a new remote protocol over HTTP that enables multiple DuckDB instances to connect to and work with the same database across a network. Quack brings client-server capabilities to a database that has traditionally been local and embedded. 🔗 bit.ly/4o22y0i #InfoQ #AI

I want to explain to those who haven't used #duckdb with #Rstats that sometimes DuckDB isn't the difference between fast and slow but between possible and not.

DuckDB Labs becomes DuckLabs. We ended up working on more than DuckDB, i.e., DuckLake and most recently, Quack. It was time to change the company name to reflect this. Nothing else changes – read our blog post for more details. ducklabs.com/news/2026/05...

This week we released an ADBC driver for Quack, @duckdb.org’s new native client-server protocol. Now you can query remote DuckDB servers using the same ADBC interface you already use for local DuckDB across 7+ languages—no third-party server extensions required. columnar.tech/blog/quack-a...

DuckCon #7 is coming up and we're looking for sponsors. We have a lineup of 15 speakers, sharing their experiences with DuckDB. For the first time, the talks will also cover DuckLake and Quack. Check out the sponsorship packages on the conference site, duckcon.org

A while back the DuckDB Labs team started a collaboration with LanceDB to bring you an extension that interacts with the Lance lakehouse format from DuckDB. In this post we take the extension for a test drive! duckdb.org/2026/05/21/t...

Today, we are releasing DuckDB v1.5.3. This is not an ordinary patch release – it packs many new features for the Quack client-server protocol, Quack support for DuckLake, and big updates for AWS, HTTPS and Iceberg. Check out our blog post about all these changes and improvements – link in the 🧵.

This Tuesday, Hannes announced Quack, our new protocol that turns DuckDB into a client-server database. Watch his talk, recorded at the AI Council, where he explained how Quack works in practice, what stack it's built on, how it performs, and what our long-term ambitions are. youtu.be/L_lttD-d1wc

Today we are revealing the Next Big Thing for DuckDB: Quack, a protocol that turns DuckDB into a client-server database. True to DuckDB's philosophy, Quack is simple and fast. Setting it up takes seconds, and it works for both bulk operations and small write transactions. 🔗 duckdb.org/quack

The Delta and Unity Catalog extensions in DuckDB have shed their experimental labels! Today's blog post by Ben Fleis presents there features: ✍️ Write Delta tables 🤝 Multi-writer access with concurrency control through UC ⏪ Time travel queries on Delta tables Read more: duckdb.org/2026/05/07/d...

"We have a database and we're not afraid of using it." How DuckDB tackled the small changes problem in lakehouse design. www.theregister.com/2026/04/16/d...

I've been working on this over the last few months and in my opinion it is just beyond cool. Grammar of graphics for SQL users!

We are hosting the next edition of our community conference, DuckCon, in Amsterdam on June 24. The registration is already open and you can submit your talk proposals until next Wednesday. Looking forward to your submissions and seeing the flock in the summer!

The Register published a report on DuckLake v1.0 and cited our recent post: > In a blog post accompanying the 1.0 launch, Pedro Holanda, DuckDB Labs principal engineer, said the company's benchmark shows 926× faster queries and 105× faster ingestion when compared to Iceberg, the open table format.

DuckDB uses RDBMS to attack classic 'small changes' problem in lakehouses

We heard that a specification looks more serious if it's served as a PDF. Well, you can read the DuckLake documentation as a PDF now (blobs.duckdb.org/docs/ducklak...)! This document covers both the specification and the DuckDB extension's usage.

Yesterday, we released DuckLake v1.0 and also published a podcast where Pedro Holanda and Mark Raasveldt talk about the DuckLake, going into quite some technical details. Listen to the episode at ducklake.select/media/duckla...

Don't forget about the DuckDB v1.5.2 announcement: duckdb.org/2026/04/13/a...

We are happy to release DuckLake v1.0, a production-ready lakehouse format specification. Its reference implementation, the ducklake DuckDB extension, is available as of today in DuckDB v1.5.2. For more details, read the announcement blog post: ducklake.select/2026/04/13/d...

You have to really love something to write a book about it. DuckLake makes PB-scale lakehouses simple: Postgres, Object Storage, DuckDB, & 6 lines of SQL. Chapter 1 of the @oreilly.bsky.social book I'm co-authoring just dropped - download for free at this link! motherduck.com/lp/ducklake-...

@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...
