ncruces helped me with some code I made for VFS. It uses [zstd seekable](https://github.com/jtarchie/sqlitezstd) for reading a file. I thought it would be really well-suited for S3.

- Support for HTTP range queries - "Fast" read times - No disk required

I was wrong.

It turns out that for specific SQL queries, it might be fine, but not fast. For queries that do aggregations, like `COUNT`, sqlite loads the whole database anyway.
