It's a completely different database, it just happens to support the postgres binary protocol.
- Zikes 10y agoYes, it is. However when I went looking for a "HA Postgres" solution I found it to be a viable alternative for my use case.
- dianasaur323 10y agoCockroachDB employee here - Yes, CockroachDB is a completely different database from PostgreSQL. CockroachDB supports HA from the bottom up with data broken up into ranges that are consistently replicated using Raft. As mentioned earlier in the thread, it uses the PostgreSQL wire protocol and supports a good amount of SQL (but not all since the dialect is quite large if you include extensions). If you are looking for HA with SQL compatibility, it would be worth taking a look at CockroachDB.
