The good parts of DuckDB that you've mentioned, including the fact that it is a single-executable, are modeled after ClickHouse.

Can you provide a reference for that belief? To me that's not true. They started from solving very different problems.

I didn't express myself well. What I meant to say was that Duckdb runs a single process. That simplifies things.

Clickhouse typically runs several processes (server, clients) interacting and that already makes things more complicated (and more powerful!).

That's not to say one is good and the other bad, they're just quite different tools.
