# QuackDB - Online DuckDB SQL Playground

[![Release](https://github.com/mattf96s/QuackDB/actions/workflows/release.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/mattf96s/QuackDB/actions/workflows/release.yml)

QuackDB is a privacy-preserving in-browser DuckDB SQL playground and editor.

Demo available at [quackdb.com](https://www.quackdb.com).

- **In-Browser**: The DuckDB Wasm library is used to run SQL queries in the browser.
- **File Types**: Supports `.csv`, `.json`, `.parquet`, `.sqlite`, `.duckdb` and `.arrow` files.
- **Privacy**: no screen recordings or client-side error monitoring (only Vercel Analytics).
- **Filesystem Access**: OPFS is used to store files in the browser's filesystem for persistence.

## Motivation

I wanted a quick and simple tool for iterating on DuckDB queries and visualizing the results. I also wanted to experiment with the new Filesystem Access API (OPFS) and explore the capabilities of DuckDB in the browser.

> An earlier version of this project used [SST](https://docs.sst.dev/start/remix) for the backend infrastructure, but I switched to Vercel for simplicity.

## TODO

- [ ] Safari support 😁
- [ ] Improved UI / charts / tables / etc.
- [ ] Data import/export
- [ ] Responsive design improvements
- [ ] Performance improvements with Arrow
- [ ] Snippets / examples

## Maybe

- [ ] [NSQL](https://motherduck.com/blog/duckdb-text2sql-llm/) integration for natural language queries.
- [ ] Co-pilot (or similar) integration for code suggestions.

## Tips

- Built in chrome OPFS viewer can be accessed from <https://www.quackdb.com/temporary>. To navigate, manually change the URL to the desired path as Chrome does not allow navigation by clicking on the links.

## Known Issues

- Safari will not be fully supported until this [bug](https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256712#c0) is fixed (serializing file handles is not supported in Safari).
