Thanks for the comment but you are mixing some terminologies.

The core idea of mooncake is to built upon open columnar format + substitutable vectorized engine, while natively integrate with Postgres.

So it is indeed closer to BigQuery (especially the newer bigquery with iceberg tables) than a 'standard SQL database'. It has all the nice properties of BigQuery (ObjectStore-native, ColumnStore, Vectorized execution...) and scaling is also not impossible.
