Great question! For analytical queries, DuckDB is ~100x faster than SQLite. It also has great connectivity with Parquet, Pandas, Arrow, Postgres, and more! Plus, the syntax follows Postgres closely, so you have strong data typing and true timestamps, etc.

All that said - SQLite is still faster for transactions. Now DuckDB can actually read and write from/to SQLite, so you can use SQLite for OLTP and DuckDB for OLAP.

This feels like it opens up some possibilities, but I am struggling to figure out where. Are you aware of any interesting use cases this has enabled? Does all of the Duck syntax then work against the SQLite database? For example, could I now run a pivot without a bunch of hoops?

You could definitely run a pivot with the SQLite attach! All of the DuckDB syntax works!

Well that is just amazingly interesting. The documentation is failing to do this feature justice! Definitely going to be on my todo list to explore this bridge in the near future.
