CockroachDB

The Delphix CockroachDB virtualization solution uses a Staging Architecture Model. In this model, the source (production) database is copied to a staging environment. The staging environment’s database is ingested by the Delphix Continuous Data Engine, which then enables virtualized copies on a target environment.

  • Drop Indexes and Disable Constraint are not supported natively while masking CockroachDB. Use pre/post scripts if you want to use these features.

  • CockroachDB supports rowid natively for tables with no primary key defined. It will automatically create a primary key over a hidden, INT-typed column named rowid.

  • To create a successful JDBC connection to CockroachDB cluster running in secure mode, please enable the password authentication without TLS using flag --accept-sql-without-tls with cockroach start command.

  • To mask the CockroachDB data source where CDC (change data capture) feature is enabled, disable all the running change-feed jobs using the below commandCockroachDB supports rowid natively for tables with no primary key defined. It will automatically create a primary key over a hidden, INT-typed column named rowid.

  • SHOW CHANGEFEED JOBS; PAUSE JOBS (WITH x AS (SHOW CHANGEFEED JOBS) SELECT * FROM x WHERE status = ('running'));

    Resume CDC job once CockroachDB masking is completed.
