You can even use DuckLake with Datafusion: https://github.com/tobilg/datafusion-ducklake-provider

I can't confirm this, I have several instances which have statically linked extensions...
Re:Healthchecks.io Now Uses Self-Hosted Object Storage on Friday April 17, 2026 @11:16AM (#47806851)
yeah, sure, those 5-10 different API calls would surely be a huge toll to refactor... I'd rather run an additional service to reimplement the S3 API mapping to my local drive /s
Re:Healthchecks.io Now Uses Self-Hosted Object Storage on Friday April 17, 2026 @11:14AM (#47806836)
I'm 100% aware of how S3 works. I was questioning why the S3 API is needed when the service is using local storage.
Re:Healthchecks.io Now Uses Self-Hosted Object Storage on Friday April 17, 2026 @10:55AM (#47806625)
I don't get it, if it's running on the same (mentioning "local") machine, why does it even need the S3 API? Could just be plain IO on the local drive(s)
Re:Why DuckDB is my first choice for data processing on Friday January 16, 2026 @03:28PM (#46651771)
Built with DuckDB-Wasm: SQL Terminal in the browser

https://terminal.sql-workbench.com

Impressive, congrats! I‘m building https://sql-workbench.com which is similar, but focussed on DuckDB WASM instead of SQLite… Love that you offer different databases.
Re:Welcome to the age of $10/month Lakehouses on Sunday June 01, 2025 @04:52AM (#44149543)
Literally the first dozen search results if you google for "lakehouse" are about data lakehouses: https://www.google.com/search?q=lakehouse

This is a well-known term for everyone working with larger datasets...

Try https://sql-workbench.com if you‘d like to do this directly in the browser, for free. Including Parquet and Arrow support as well.
IMO that’s not really possible because of the size limits of Cloudflare Workers. Neither the WASM nor the Node version are small enough.

I‘m running it on AWS Lambda functions with some success.

Not sure why the comparisons were made with pretty outdated versions to be honest.

I‘m using a (older) v1.29.1 dev version with https://sql-workbench.com w/o any bigger issues.

But they got a custom CLI argument in the OSS product for it. And hosting/proxying it under the OSS domain ui.duckdb.org
Re:The DuckDB Local UI on Thursday March 13, 2025 @07:20PM (#43358227)
Actually, the UI was built by MotherDuck…
Re:The DuckDB Local UI on Thursday March 13, 2025 @04:00PM (#43356731)
Have a look at https://sql-workbench.com eventually. It runs DuckDB WASM in the browser, and with Perspective, which is used for data visualization, you can also visualize timeseries.

You can either drag & drop data, or use remote data sources via https

Hahaha, nice. It's a small world.
Re:The DuckDB Local UI on Wednesday March 12, 2025 @11:46AM (#43344462)
You can potentially use Ollama running a model locally, e.g. https://ollama.com/library/duckdb-nsql
Re:The DuckDB Local UI on Wednesday March 12, 2025 @11:41AM (#43344415)
Have a look at https://sql-workbench.com eventually, as it's using DuckDB WASM & Perspective to render the query results. Let me know what you think!
I created https://sql-workbench.com a while ago, mainly to let people analyze data that's available via http sources, or on their local machines, w/o having to install anything.

A recent project is https://shrink.video, which is using the WASM version of ffmpeg to shrink or convert video in the user's browser itself, for privacy and similar reasons mentioned before.
