More CockroachDB Pros →

"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there.""Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier.""There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable.""It's very clever.""The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well.""The solution is stable.""The most valuable feature is automation."

Cons
"CockroachDB needs to improve store processes.""The closer they can make CockroachDB to being completely compatible with Postgres, the better. It's almost compatible, but not completely. If it was, it would be nice to just be able to use Postgres libraries without any fiddling.""I find the serverless offer a bit confusing.""Cockroach does not support all types of protocols. I need to improve it myself to support a CouchDB on my network.""The initial setup and pricing could be improved.""The product must improve its disaster recovery features.""The platform could be more extensible.""We are looking for more features to support distributed high availability and geo-partitioning."

More CockroachDB Cons →

"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js.""In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high.""Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes.""The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language.""The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in.""The solution could be more user-friendly."

    Overview

    CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database built on a transactional and strongly-consistent key-value store. It scales horizontally; survives disk, machine, rack, and even datacenter failures with minimal latency disruption and no manual intervention; supports strongly-consistent ACID transactions; and provides a familiar SQL API for structuring, manipulating, and querying data.

    CockroachDB is inspired by Google’s Spanner and F1 technologies, and it’s completely open source.

    Java DB is a relational database management system (RDBMS). Data is stored and queried via SQL or JDBC. Like other RDBMSs, Java DB can also be accessed through a persistence layer such as JPA, Hibernate, or JDO. Java objects can be stored in the columns of Java DB tables.
