"if you have worked with analytical systems in the past, you may assume that DuckDB cannot handle transactional workloads. But DuckDB has been built as a transactional, multi-connection database with full MVCC and transaction isolation since day one. Most users just never needed that in a single-user scenario. It turns out DuckDB handles transactions well: it's fast enough to compete with general-purpose databases like PostgreSQL on quite a few workloads, and the client/server pattern finally lets that machinery shine in multi-tenant, long-running deployments."

What is the query performance like today? And, what are your goals for query performance after the next release?

I live in Portland, OR. My city has great walk-ability, and I walk here.. a lot.

Last week, I made my first trip to NYC and, wow, did I walk. In fact, I broke a personal record by walking 14 miles within a 5 hr period around Manhattan.

When I got back to PDX, I gave my shoes a couple days of rest.

Please elaborate on how this choice will lose developer mind share in the long run. In fact, it is quite the opposite.
