DuckDB v2.0 turns the in-process DB into a server, plus triggers, VARIANT, and a new engine
DuckDB's v2.0 "Cyanoptera" lands this fall with a native server mode: any DuckDB process can serve databases over the network, with CONNECT pushdown straight to PostgreSQL and MySQL. It also adds triggers, a VARIANT type, asynchronous I/O, a new SQL parser, and a new default storage format.
