Today we are revealing the Next Big Thing for DuckDB: Quack, a protocol that turns DuckDB into a client-server database. True to DuckDB's philosophy, Quack is simple and fast. Setting it up takes seconds, and it works for both bulk operations and small write transactions. 🔗 duckdb.org/quack

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!

Today we're launching DuckLake, an integrated data lake and catalog format powered by SQL. DuckLake unlocks next-generation data warehousing where compute is local, consistency central, and storage scales till infinity. ⁠ducklake is an open standard and we implemented it in the "ducklake" extension.

How do you detect if a subprocess errors? You might rely on error codes, great. And to be extra friendly you might also look for the substring `error` in the stdout stream, just to be sure. Welcome to MSBuild's take on error handling, and also my day. PR to @duckdb at github.com/duckdb/duckd...
