genofire's service checklist

[genofire]

Here a list of services and the state of support by cockroach

• ejabberd (untested : 20.01, 20.03)

  • setup/schema (with fix family)
  • usage/queries

• grafana log

  • setup/schema
  • usage/queries

• powerdns

  • schema (text_pattern_ops support needed PowerDNS #18566)

• postfix

  • usage/queries (encoding - sql: support set client_encoding='LATIN1' #20317)

• roundcube (not tested yet)

• gitlab log

  • setup/schema (issue on gitlab)
  • usage/queries

• nextcloud log

  • setup/schema
  • usage/queries

• pretix / django log

  • setup/schema
  • usage/queries

---

hope it helps to take a look at state of cockroach in productive use (beside of golang gorm applications)

Nextcloud still has schema problems:

SQLSTATE[XX000]: Internal error: 7 ERROR:  index "oauth2_client_id_idx" being dropped, try again later
SQLSTATE[XX000]: Internal error: 7 ERROR:  index "calobjects_index" is in use as unique constraint (use CASCADE if you really want to drop it)

@genofire, CockroachDB will very likely never support CREATE EXTENSION, which is how PostgreSQL loads C extension modules.

[genofire]

okay, i just want to track here - why it is not possible to use cockroachDB for this application ATM

ejabberd seems to have started implementing support for using cockroachdb:
https://www.process-one.net/blog/ejabberd-20-01/
https://www.process-one.net/blog/ejabberd-20-03/

[MEschenbacher]

I'm successfully running a very low volume ejabberd 20.04 (old database schema) on cockroachdb 20.1. I exported from a postgresql using pg_dump, modified the dump by removing sequences and doing the "family" dance

sed -e '/CREATE SEQUENCE/{:a;N;/;/!ba};/START WITH/d' -e 's/\bfamily\b/"family"/g' -e '/_id_seq/d' -e '/_stateid_seq/d' -e '/spool_seq_seq/d' -e '/nodeid_seq/d' ejabberd.sql > ejabberd1.sql

and imported to cockroachdb using

IMPORT PGDUMP 'nodelocal://1/ejabberd1.sql';

After the import, I needed to add some statements to reproduce the serial types:

alter table archive alter column id set default unique_rowid();
alter table pubsub_state alter column stateid set default unique_rowid();
alter table pubsub_node alter column nodeid set default unique_rowid();
alter table privacy_list alter column id set default unique_rowid();
alter table spool alter column seq set default unique_rowid();

I will switch to the new ejabberd database schema in a few days.
