 - **OpenTelemetry Integration**: Traces are compatible with OpenTelemetry, making it easy to export to collectors and observability platforms.
 - **Error Recording**: Errors are automatically annotated with kind, message, and stacktrace in the tracing span.
 - **Returned Rows**: The number of rows returned by queries is recorded for observability.
-- **Database Agnostic**: Supports both PostgreSQL and SQLite via feature flags.
