Hi Chris, we describe CockroachDB as a SQL database because that is what we're aspiring to. The missing functionality (i.e. joins) is on our near-term roadmap.

- chris_wot 10y agoSweet :-) Joins over a distributed database aren't easy. Love to see what you have going! The main issue I see with distributed joins are that they need to be done in a single transaction - if even one table gets an insert, delete or update then it invalidated the join. But this distributed serialised snapshot isolation, that sounds like it might be the best way around it.
