Recent Queries added to MD_INFORMATION_SCHEMA: Organization admins on MotherDuck Business plans can now access a more realtime view of all currently running or recently completed queries across their whole organization using the RECENT_QUERIES view. This view offers detail for recent queries not yet captured in the QUERY_HISTORY view. Both views are accessible in the MD_INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
New columns for query attribution in query history: The QUERY_HISTORY view along with the new RECENT_QUERIES view in the MD_INFORMATION_SCHEMA now contain session_name and duckling_id columns, making it easy to identify which Duckling executed each query, and group read scaling queries by session_hint.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Release ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Release ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ MotherDuck now supports DuckDB 1.4.1 and DuckLake 0.3 DuckDB 1.4 delivers performance gains with improvements like a rewritten sorting engine, more efficient small writes, and new SQL syntax including the MERGE statement. Learn more in the DuckDB 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 changelogs. Performance improvements

Sorting is 2x+ faster: Complete rewrite of sorting uses less memory and scales better across threads for ORDER BY, window functions, and list sorting
More efficient small writes: Appending small numbers of rows now writes far fewer bytes
5x faster checkpointing: Reuses table metadata when tables aren't altered during checkpoint
Parallel connection creation: Connections from instance cache can be created in parallel
Faster scalar functions on dictionary data: Functions on dictionary-compressed data only run once per unique value

SQL syntax updates

MERGE INTO statement: Standard SQL upserts without requiring primary keys or indexes
FILL() window function: Interpolate missing values in ordered data
Python-style macro arguments: Macros accept positional or named arguments for any parameter
STRUCT to MAP cast: Direct casting between struct and map types

Parquet improvements

VARIANT type reading: Read Parquet VARIANT types for faster semi-structured data processing
Native geometry type writes: Write native Parquet geometry types
Auto-globbing for directories: Automatically treats paths as directories and retries with glob patterns when no file is found

Learn more in the MotherDuck Highlights Blog, and the official DuckDB Labs announcements for 1.4.0 and 1.4.1. While you can continue using your current version of DuckDB with MotherDuck, we encourage you to upgrade your DuckDB clients to 1.4.1 as soon as you can to take advantage of the fixes and performance improvements. [Preview] DuckLake 0.3 As we announced earlier this year, MotherDuck now supports DuckLake, an integrated data lake and catalog format. DuckLake 0.3 makes working with DuckLake more robust, including CHECKPOINT for easy maintenance, new paths for Iceberg interoperability, spatial geometry types, and MERGE INTO support. Learn more about using DuckLake databases in MotherDuck in the documentation, and the recent improvements in the DuckDB Labs announcement for DuckLake 0.3.
