🏗️ The DuckDB team is working hard on delivering DuckDB v1.5.
🌃 While the official release is next week, you can already give it a quick test using the nightly builds available at duckdb.org/install/prev...
If you encounter any issues, let us know! 🐛💬
🦆 ↔️ 🦀 DuckDB Labs is looking for a Rust engineer to join our team in Amsterdam.

@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

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

oast extension sample output
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*
That's not great, sorry for that. Can you perhaps file a bug report? github.com/duckdb/duckd...
I love this idea: duckdb.org/community_ex.... It translates dplyr syntax _inside_ of duckdb so you can mix it with regular SQL
yup!
DuckDB ^^
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.
First one I found on AliExpress :)
🖥️ 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.

Yeay!! I wrote a very opinionated list of tips for working with DuckDB in R! Hope others find it useful.

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:

#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.

If you are into Iceberg or DuckDB, this is a major step: you can access existing Iceberg datasets, while they are appended on or updated by other users (possibly they can also be clicking buttons in a browser).
This has been very fun, was looking forward to be able to properly share, thanks flock!
Found this fun bug in #Google Maps. The Austin airport jumps away and back quite far just by zooming...
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/...
We are happy to announce DuckDB v1.4.3 LTS, our latest patch release. Along with bugfixes, this release ships native extensions and Python support for Windows ARM64. Head to duckdb.org/2025/12/09/a... for the announcement blog post and installation instructions.
This is the most exciting time ever to be working in data, and I'm not talking about AI.
3 years ago, I wrote a database-centric guide in my book for analyzing the full 92 million record 1910 Census.
Now, with #rstats and @duckdb?
Analyze those 92 million rows in seconds.
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...
DuckDB v1.4 introduced the much-requested feature of database encryption. In our new blog post, @ccfelius.bsky.social and @hannes.muehleisen.org explain how the encryption works under the hood: duckdb.org/2025/11/19/e...
yup sorry about that
I’m thrilled to share that my new book (Spatial Data Management with DuckDB) is now published! 🎉
At 430 pages, this book provides a practical, hands-on guide to scalable geospatial analytics and visualization using DuckDB. All code examples are open-source and freely available on GitHub.
🚀 We released DuckDB v1.4.2, the second patch release of our LTS edition.
🔎 We are shipping new Iceberg features, improved logger/profiler integration and several bugfixes. The new DuckDB version can also read and write Vortex files.

This profile in ‘Significance’ on DuckDB co-founder Hannes Mühleisen is quite interesting, and has helpful insights about data quality and the changing meaning of “big data.” Also some good professional advice in here for statisticians.

We took Canada’s Spatial Access Measures dataset (big, clunky CSVs) → turned it into a single GeoParquet file.
Add DuckDB-WASM + deck.gl & you get
- instant queries
- smooth maps
- no backend
Public data, but actually usable.
