Just realised DuckDB names each of their releases after different species of ducks. This probably reveals how little I know of duck species but aren't they going to run out of names for future releases pretty soon? How many duck species are there?

If they run out of duck species, then can move on to duck preparations. Peking duck, smoked tea duck, duck l'orange etc.

If they run out of duck names they may move to chicken names without anyone noticing ...!

There are many! https://www.thespruce.com/duck-species-list-385436

There's over 130[0] according to birdspot

That's lower than I expected and it'll be fun in a few decades to see what they do. Maybe we'll have to go looking for some new ducks.

Oracle's going to kill off the naming scheme when they buy DuckDB in 2031, so we're safe.

Perhaps after naming enough ducks they’ll toss in a goose.

Yes, that's a pretty small number. I would assume that Duckdb will have >130 releases in the future.
