Overview

The DuckLake project is governed by the non-profit DuckDB Foundation.

Planned Features (Last Updated: August 2025)

This section lists the features that we plan to work on this year. The list was compiled by the DuckLake maintainers and is based on the long-term vision for the project and general interactions with users in the open-source community.

• Documentation regarding access control in DuckLake.
• Migration guides for moving from DuckDB to DuckLake, covering both DuckDB and PostgreSQL catalogs.
• Optimize heavily deleted tables.
• Data inlining with PostgreSQL as a catalog.
• Cleanup of orphan files.
• Allow primary key syntax without really enforcing it, similar to what other OLAP engines do (e.g., BigQuery).
• Geometry/geospatial types.

Please note that there are no guarantees that a particular feature will be released within the next year. Everything on this page is subject to change without notice.

Future Work

These are some of the items that we plan to support in the future:

• Scalar and table macros.
• User defined types.
• Variant types.
• Fixed-size arrays.
• Default values that are not literals.
