yugabyte-db VS cockroach

It is possible to apply Batched Nested Loop but with additional code that checks the range of the outer bigint and compare it only if it matches the range of integer. This has been added in YugabyteDB 2.21 with #20715 YSQL: Allow BNL on joins over different integer types to help migrations from PostgreSQL with such datatype inconsistencies.

It can be done like https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/ has.

Therefore, interleaving or co-partitioning is probably not necessary, and would reduce agility and scalability more than improving the performance. Unless you have a good reason for it that you can share on Issue #79. But, first, test and tune the queries to see if you need something else.

This is a workaround, not supported. I've opened the following issue to get it solve in the YugabyteDB deployment: https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/issues/19389

Note that there may still be a need for bitmaps, especially with disjunctions (OR) as the following is about conjunction (AND), and it can still be implemented, differently than PostgreSQL. This is tracked by #4634.

You have seen me using the official YugabyteDB Docker image extensively. This image is suitable for various purposes, including labs, development, testing, and even production. In the past, we used to create it internally due to its seamless integration with our build process. However, some companies prefer to construct the image on their own, which is indeed a commendable practice. After all, it's not advisable to run random images with root privileges on your servers. As a result, we have made a significant alteration by introducing a refined Dockerfile to our Github repository.

Of course, I can guess from the function names, but YugabyteDB is Open Source and I can search for them. What happens here is that I didn't declare a Primary Key for my table and then an internal one (ybctid) is generated, because secondary indexes need a key to address the table row. This ID generation calls /dev/urandom. I made this simple example to show that low-level traces can give a clue about high level data model problems.

To show that it is not difficut to understand what you run, when in a PostgreSQL-compatible database, I'll look at the HammerDB benchmark connected to YugabyteDB. HammerDB has no specific code for it but YugabyteDB is PostgreSQL-compatible (it uses PostgreSQL code on top of distributed storage and transaction).

CockroachDB is an open source distributed SQL database designed for scalability and resilience. While it offers SQL databases, CockroachDB is also compatible with PostgreSQL.

cockroachdb might be close: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach

CockroachDB - SQL

For example, when you create a serverless postgres database with a platform like CockroachDB or Neon, you effectively get a connection string with a strong password. Anyone can connect to your database from anywhere so long as they have the right connection string. There are no security settings in these services to change this behavior.

> Yes you can on the android emulator. The biggest issue is compu arch in that case.

I can also download VirtualBox and run all Windows programs, that would mean that all Windows apps are Linux apps?

> Yes you can for the most part

You can't statically link glibc: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/3392

glibc can break stuff: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/08/valve-dev-understandab...

I had binaries break because the newer version if openssl was put under a slightly different name.

Also, worth noting, if you're already using PostgreSQL (or plan to) you might want to take a look at https://www.cockroachlabs.com/ they have a free tier too and CockroachDB has a PostgreSQL interface.

I know that some projects like cockroach use custom build tools like bazel. But we actually really like to use to be able to build our projects simply with the great go toolchain and don't really aim to dive deep into custom build solutions.

CockroachDB is designed to be globally distributed. It has to handle causality when resolving collisions. It has to account for having a write operation to arrive after another and still have time priority because it was sent out a few milliseconds earlier.

Cockroachdb created a go runtime patch which measures the Grunning time of a goroutine: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/pull/82356. It doesn't entirely solve the problem though.

Our entire backend is written in Go. We've built a platform that allows other companies to offer automatic data syncing to their customers' data warehouses. Go works great for building distributed systems like this (see K8s). We're not the only ones in the space building data intensive applications with Go. Pachyderm, Pinecone, Cockroach Labs and are all also doing it. We've been quite happy with how Go has worked for us.
