Apologies, a website rework is currently in progress :)

DuckDB is indeed a free columnar database system, but it is not entirely built on top of SQLite. It exposes the same front-end and uses components of SQLite (the shell and testing infrastructure), but the execution engine/storage code is new.




I can see why you are avoiding "built on top of SQLite", but I really think you should reconsider and go with that terminology.

It means the "right" thing to most people: I can use this like I use SQLite now.
