DuckDB

New blog post by @GioDalakishvili: Building DuckDB Extensions in C# DuckDB.ExtensionKit lets C# developers define scalar and table functions, which can be shipped as native DuckDB extensions – without touching any C/C++ code! Read the full blog post at duckdb.org/2026/03/20/duc…

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. The skills supported include: + read-file and query – uses DuckDB's CLI to query data locally, unlocking easy access to any file that DuckDB can read. + read-memories – a clever idea to store your Claude memories in DuckDB and query them at blazing speed. These are powered by two additional skills: + attach-db – gives Claude a mechanism to manage DuckDB state through a .sql file linked to your project. + duckdb-docs – uses a remote DuckDB full-text search database to query the DuckDB docs and answer all of your (and Claude's own) questions. github.com/duckdb/duckdb-…

My goodness, @duckdb is just so good. Gotta be the biggest single software advance I can remember in all my time programming. And it gets better and better and better.

What's the next big thing for @duckdb? CEO Hannes Mühleisen isn't saying yet. Last year, Hannes Mühleisen (co-Creator & CEO of DuckDB) took the stage with "Liberate Analytical Data Management with DuckDB" and walked through the engineering choices that made DuckDB fast enough to run serious analytics on a laptop: youtube.com/watch?v=o53onm… This May, Hannes is back to announce the "Super-Secret Next Big Thing for DuckDB". If you want to know where this is going before anyone else, join us! May 12–14 in San Francisco: aicouncil.com/sf-2026

🌱 Today, Apple released the MacBook Neo, an entry-level laptop with the processor from a phone, 8 GB of memory, and no active cooling. 💡 Naturally, our first thought was: can you use this machine to process Big Data? Read our analysis to find out. 🔗 duckdb.org/2026/03/11/big…

DuckDB v1.5.0 is made up of 334K lines of C++ (excluding dependencies), has had 10K+ pull requests & is the 28th most-starred C++ app on GitHub. It has become essential infrastructure. It's great to see new releases including more new features & improving existing workflows.

@SubhashPophale Stored procedures are coming! See our roadmap (duckdb.org/roadmap) and check out the DuckPL talk at the recent Developer Meeting. duckdb.org/events/2026/01…

@duckdb We want a stored procedure

We released DuckDB v1.5! This new release comes with a “friendly CLI” client, a new (opt-in) PEG parser, support for the VARIANT type and a built-in GEOMETRY type. It also ships a new network stack and a few lakehouse features. Finally, it can write to Azure and connect to databases through ODBC.

🧩 If you have played The New York Times Connections Puzzle and found it to be devilishly difficult, worry not. Tom Jakubowski's connections.duckdb project that lets you check your guesses – or outright cheat to solve the puzzle. Up to you! 🔗 github.com/tomjakubowski/…

@HugoPendlebury Yes, the UI should work just fine.

@duckdb Very nice, does this also work the UI ? Ie can you use duckdb -ui without the need for any external bootstrapping ?

📉 We decided to postpone the DuckDB release to next week to land some bug fixes and improve the robustness of the system. Sorry about that! 📈 In the meantime, we have a cool new thing to announce – you can now install the DuckDB CLI using Python's pip: pip install duckdb-cli

@ncdevshiv Further to this, please check the performance guide on using NAS: #network-attached-disks" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">duckdb.org/docs/preview/g…

@ncdevshiv This may sound a bit complicated but setting up is actually super easy. For each DuckDB client, make sure the ducklake/sqlite extensions are installed, connect to the same DuckLake using SQLite as a central catalog, and you can have multiple writers: #sqlite" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ducklake.select/docs/stable/du…

@ncdevshiv What features are you missing from DuckDB / what limitations are you facing when using DuckDB?

ok here is the update i am facing several limitation on quest and duckdb can anyone suggest me best db to choose?😡

🗓️ This year, we came up with new merchandise: the 2026 Friendly DuckDB calendar, which has a SQL feature for every month along with art inspired by the feature. ⬇️ If you were lucky to get one at our events, that's great! :) If not, you can still grab the PDF at blobs.duckdb.org/merch/duckdb-f…
