All I want for Christmas is... an Apache Iceberg Workbench in the browser!?

New blog post: tobilg.com/posts/using-...

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/...

My DuckDB Terminal now has a user guide, and was updated to the latest DuckDB v1.4.3 and ghostty-web v0.4.0 terminal.sql-workbench.com/guide/

New blog post: TypeScript scripts as @duckdb.org table functions tobilg.com/posts/typesc...

DuckDB Terminal has been updated, it now supports auto-magic charts, data downloads and many other features: terminal.sql-workbench.com

New @duckdb.org Web Terminal just dropped: terminal.sql-workbench.com

Migrated @sql-workbench.com on the weekend from AWS (CloudFront, S3, Route 53, etc.) to @cloudflare.social Pages... Went from >400 lines of CloudFormation IaC to 5 lines of wrangler.jsonc

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...

Why put a webserver in a database, when you can put a database in a webserver? github.com/tobilg/caddy...

New website, who dis'? tobilg.com

Introducing osmextract: High-performance OpenStreetMap data extraction tool powered by @duckdb.org github.com/tobilg/osmex...

Uh oh @cloudflare.social is (partially) down in Germany apparently www.cloudflarestatus.com

I created a MVT Tileserver based on DuckDB and the spatial extension: github.com/tobilg/duckd... Just create a new DuckDB database with one or more tables with a geometry column, and use it when starting the server. Or, create a view that points to a remote dataset, e.g. a GeoParquet on S3.

SQL Workbench Embedded is live on ProductHunt, give it an upvote if you like! www.producthunt.com/products/sql...

Touched gras today

Run database queries directly on your website! SQL Workbench Embedded is a lightweight (<10kb) and configurable wrapper around @duckdb.org WASM: embedded.sql-workbench.com

duckdb-mlpack 0.0.2: mlpack is now a duckdb community extension Bringing mlpack machine learning to duckdb SQL dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2025/10...

I just launched github.com/tobilg/sql-w... It's a tiny (<10kb gzipped) wrapper around @duckdb.org WASM that can run queries interactively, and be embedded in plain HTML websites, as well as all other mayor frontend frameworks... It's an early version, feedback warmly appreciated!

No lava lamps, but wave machines and great views: I had the pleasure to visit the @cloudflare.social Lisbon office today

My @duckdb.org DNS Community Extension now supports configurable query result caching, which should result in significant speed-ups for often-used domains/IPs: github.com/tobilg/duckd...

„Snapchat doesn’t work!“ us-east-1 outages are a great opportunity to teach your teenagers about cloud infrastructure that powers half of the Internet 😂

I published a new version of my dns @duckdb.org extension yesterday, with some improvements and v1.4.1 compatibility: duckdb.org/community_ex...

Yes, this is a @quinnypig.com sub-skeet:

Created a DNS extension for @duckdb.org today: github.com/tobilg/duckd... Hopefully it will be available via the Community Extensions soon!

@cloudflare.social's data platform was launched today: blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-d... It consists of the following parts: - Pipelines: Receive & transform events - R2 Data Catalog: Manages the Iceberg metadata & table maintenance - R2 SQL: In-house distributed SQL engine based on Data Fusion

@cloudflare.social launched R2 SQL today in public beta. It's a serverless, distributed, analytics query engine for querying Apache Iceberg tables stored in R2 Data Catalog: blog.cloudflare.com/r2-sql-deep-...

Write Iceberg data to @cloudflare.social R2 Data Catalog via @duckdb.org v1.4.0 with SQL only!

Write Iceberg data to @awscloud.bsky.social S3Tables with @duckdb.org v1.4.0

I just updated sql-workbench.com to the new @duckdb.org version 1.4.0

Just returned from my bike trip to Switzerland. Distance travelled by train: 2386km Distance travelled by bike: ca. 320km Train rides: 10 Bike rides: 12 Countries: 3 Operators: 5

Did the Furka Pass today, and looked at the sad state of the Rhone glacier

S3 Tables now has support for handling namespaces and tables via CloudFormation and the CDK: aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

Great article: Introduction to AT protocol mackuba.eu/2025/08/20/i...

Lüneburger Heide

My @duckdb.org-based WFS feature server project now supports CRUD operations to the underlying spatial data via a separate REST API: github.com/tobilg/duckd...

Introducing github.com/tobilg/duckd... A lightweight RESTful geospatial feature server for @duckdb.org with duckdb-spatial support. This allows you to use a pre-generated database as WFS service.
