DuckDB

PS: If you are wondering, what happened to the Singapore edition – unfortunately, we had to postpone it. We'll revisit it for 2027.

🇳🇱 DuckCon returns to the Netherlands! We'll host our next edition on June 24 in Amsterdam. We are looking forward to meeting our community in our home town's Royal Tropical Institute for an afternoon of talks and discussions about DuckDB. See duckcon.org for more!

🎨 We rolled out a new section on our landing page this week! We hope it will help you explore the DuckDB ecosystem at a glance.

@cauchyzk Hello, unfortunately we have postponed the event indefinitely due to the current geopolitical instabilities and surging fuel prices, which would make travel quite expensive for speakers and attendees like. We'll host another DuckCon in Amsterdam in june!

@duckdb is this still happening?

🌏 We are happy to announce the first DuckCon in the APAC region: DuckCon #7 will take place in the National Gallery Singapore on 2026-05-05. 🗳️ Registration and the Call for Talks are open! Submit your proposals until 2026-03-18. ➡️ duckdb.org/events/2026/05…

📈 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/ann…

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
