We present an update on CRDB, the cosmic-ray database for charged species. CRDB is based on MySQL, queried and sorted by jquery and table-sorter libraries, and displayed via PHP web pages through the AJAX protocol. We review the modifications made on the structure and outputs of the database since the first release (Maurin et al., 2014). For this update, the most important feature is the inclusion of ultra-heavy nuclei (<inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <mrow> <mi>Z</mi> <mo>></mo> <mn>30</mn> </mrow> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula>), ultra-high energy nuclei (from <inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <msup> <mn>10</mn> <mn>15</mn> </msup> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula> to <inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <msup> <mn>10</mn> <mn>20</mn> </msup> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula> eV), and limits on antinuclei fluxes (<inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <mrow> <mi>Z</mi> <mo>≤</mo> <mo>−</mo> <mn>1</mn> </mrow> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula> for <inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <mrow> <mi>A</mi> <mo>></mo> <mn>1</mn> </mrow> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula>); more than 100 experiments, 350 publications, and 40,000 data points are now available in CRDB. We also revisited and simplified how users can retrieve data and submit new ones. For questions and requests, please contact [e-mail].
