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

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

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.
