thinking about https://hub.meltano.com/loaders/target-duckdb/ in the context of https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/15/motherduck-secures-investment-from-andreessen-horowitz-to-commercialize-duckdb/.
If I understand it well, the current Meltano target cannot connect to MotherDuck - am I right?
Anyone has already started working on it?
Or, is it not necessary at all? Would it be good-enough DEV experience to use targets like target-s3-parquest and point MotherDuck to such files?

Compared to pure DuckDB, MontherDuck can be shared with other users.
But my question above stays - is there a valid use case? Would it be good-enough DEV experience to use targets like target-s3-parquest and point MotherDuck to such files?

07/24/2023, 5:16 PMI got https://github.com/meltano/hub/pull/1447 to bring MotherDuck support to the Hub plugin. The target works with MD but there are some hiccups (https://github.com/jwills/target-duckdb/pull/26). dbt-duckdb seems to work fine with MD already.
