@duckdb 1.5 just landed and it's a huge one. New CLI, VARIANT for semi-structured data, native GEOMETRY, faster performance, and a full comparison with 1.4 LTS. Watch the breakdown.

@kimmolinna @posit_pbc @ProjectJupyter @awscloud We're proud to be part of your workflow flock, @kimmolinna! 🦆 🦆 🦆

Now my workflow is super straightforward: @duckdb + #ggsql from @posit_pbc, all running smoothly on #JupyterLab from @ProjectJupyter inside AWS SageMaker Studio (@awscloud). Clean, powerful and productive. 🚀

Lightweight Text Analytics Workflows with DuckDB In this blog post, Petrica Leuca demonstrates how to use DuckDB for keyword, full-text, and semantic similarity search with embeddings. Text analytics are a central component of many modern data workflows, covering tasks such as keyword matching, full-text search, and semantic comparison. Conventional tools frequently require complex pipelines and substantial infrastructure, which can pose significant challenges. DuckDB offers a high-performance SQL engine that simplifies and streamlines text analytics.

` Making Apache Iceberg walk and talk like Postgres ` 🧊 🐘 Catch up with this talk from #DuckCon by @marcoslot at Snowflake on `pg_lake`: a Postgres extension that adds: • Iceberg tables in Postgres • Query/import/export files in object storage And of course, Marco used #DuckDB as part of the stack! Dive into the presentation here: Slides: blobs.duckdb.org/events/duckcon… Video: youtube.com/watch?v=wF8I4g…

The @duckdb 2.0 feature roadmap was presented at the recent DuckCon in Amsterdam. I thought it would be a good idea to react to the video and talk about the features you should be excited about. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=nUaZvi…

@YossiEliaz Quack quack!

People said you could find @duckdb only in Boston and London. Apparently also in Tel Aviv.

"['Smart' is] the ability of MariaDB Optimizer to push not only the scan or filter... but ideally, the full query, to a storage engine." MariaDB joins @DuckDB at DuckCon 7 to discuss our new smart engine, which embeds DuckDB directly — watch now: youtube.com/watch?v=y_T9-F…

@mariadb It was so nice having the @mariadb team at #DuckCon this year!

DuckDB is an amazing secret weapon in data engineering imho.. and it’s open source and will always be @duckdb 🔥🫡

Ducklake with duckdb is really really good. Tell your agent to use it if you ask it to import a lot of data ( like health data from Fitbit ). If you use Hermes, just go “/learn duckdb and ducklake and use it” and all your data asks will get better.

@MarindeParis14 You're welcome, @MarindeParis14! We're glad you enjoyed it

@duckdb Thank you all for this great event.

That ends the livestream of #DuckCon 7 in Amsterdam. Thank you for joining us today from all around the globe and happy quacking everyone! 🦆🦆🦆

It's now time for the lightning talks at #DuckCon! ⚡

DuckDB 2.0 comes this fall! Mark is calling this "the year of DuckDB as a server", which is super helpful to us at MotherDuck. Big features include: Async I/O for faster DuckLakes & S3 r/w, Triggers for automation, & partition aware queries for speed at big scale. Quack on!

Coming up next at the next session of #DuckCon in <15 minutes! 🦆
