I am just beginning to realize how many delicious puns are hiding in the name. "There is a bug in your database" - "No, the database is the bug." ;-) Seriously

I am just beginning to realize how many delicious puns are hiding in the name. "There is a bug in your database" - "No, the database is the bug." ;-) Seriously, though, this looks like a very interesting project. Until now, I had not been aware it supports SQL. I think I have to give CockroachDB a try in my next toy project. It sounds like they try do build something very ambitious. To my knowledge none of the commercial database vendors (except maybe Tandem back in the day?) have succeeded in building a distributed/replicated SQL-based database engine with strong consistency and high availability. I know MSSQL supports hot-standby/failover, but AFAIK that does not cover all the scenarios CockroachDB seems to want to address.
