DuckDB

We just published a deep dive on spatial joins in DuckDB by Max Gabrielsson. In the new post, Max explains how spatial joins evolved in DuckDB and how the current operator harnesses R-Trees. He presents benchmarks showing how the spatial extension in DuckDB 1.3 is now capable of performing exploratory analysis on the NYC bike rental data set. 🔗 See the link in the comments.

🚀 Excited to announce the release of the hashfuncs extension for DuckDB! 🎉 This powerful new extension adds a suite of high-performance, non-cryptographic hash functions — including xxHash, RapidHash, and MurmurHash3 — directly into DuckDB. Whether you’re working on database indexing, data partitioning, caching, or implementing Bloom filters, hashfuncs offers fast and reliable hashing optimized for modern workloads. Getting started is easy with DuckDB’s community extensions: simply install and load hashfuncs to supercharge your data workflows.
