After almost 12 years gathering data with the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope and the 1.2-m Mercator telescope, the IACOB project has broken the record of compiling high quality, multi-epoch, optical spectra for more than 1000 Northern Galactic O- and B-type stars. To celebrate this important milestone, in this contribution to the first virtual meeting of the Astronomical Spanish Society (SEA), we summarize the main characteristics of the present version of the IACOB spectroscopic database, introduce the renewed interface to access the data, and announce the second data release (including more than 550 spectra of about 250 mid- and late-B dwarfs, subgiants and giants).
