[DuckDB @duckdb]

Hannes Mühleisen just revealed the Next Big Thing for DuckDB at AI Council 2026: Quack, a protocol that turns DuckDB into a client-server database.

True to DuckDB's philosophy, Quack is simple and fast. You can set it up in seconds and it delivers high-performance remote access, turning DuckDB into a full-fledged general-purpose database system.

We are very excited to see the possibilities Quack will unlock, from serving multiple concurrent writers to creative architectures with several DuckDB processes talking to each other. The ingenuity of our community never ceases to amaze us and we're certain that we'll see many use cases we did not even think of.

For now – follow the link in the thread, give it a spin and let us know what you think. Happy quacking!

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.
