They have an interesting version that's packaged a bit like DuckDB - you can even "pip install" it: https://github.com/chdb-io/chdb

They don't do static builds AFAICT, which would make it a real competitor to DuckDB.

chDB author here, You are right, we have not made a static libchDB. BTW, I guess you are a golang developer?

Correct! Would love to have the Go package come as a single dependency without having to distribute `.so` files. That's what's stopping me from using `chDB` now instead of DuckDB. Being able to use chDB in a static manner would also help deepen my usage of the Clickhouse server. Right now the Clickhouse side of my project is lagging behind the DuckDB one because of this.

What is the use case for an embedded terabyte-scale database, by the way?
