Honestly as a new yorker the name of your company and product and the title of this blog post make me cringe!

This is one of the most exciting DB's coming into the world, and I've had a lot of fun watching progress from the sidelines! Keep kicking ass!

That's exactly the point. It triggers a reaction. Way better than "blahdb" IMO :)

It's icky, but it communicates their overall goal pretty well. If a cockroach will survive it...

Agreed. SQL support is a big benefit. This post does a good job of explaining why, and I'm glad they delayed the beta to implement it. Looking forward to joins.

I'm not sure how useful SQL is without joins though... I can see that this might be interesting to test against, but don't think SQL is much simpler than a lot of the query engines for non-sql databases... Until you get to joins, and similar operations.

Right now, I'm most interested in seeing RethinkDB see more traction... it seems to have most of the features I look for, and I, for one don't mind more programmatic queries, and the management interface is really second to none at this point... MS-SQL, I'd probably consider a close second.

Been watching this DB for a while. Glad to see it enter beta. I recommend including https://github.com/mauricio/postgresql-async on https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/install-client-drivers.ht... (it's my favorite Postgres client, it's very fast).

I can see many of the exploratory data analytic can be done without joins. Well, my experience could be too specific though.
