Relational CDC destination

CockroachDB with SQL Flow

This page describes CockroachDB's continuous-data role in SQL Flow. It is separate from Omni Loader's one-time bulk-migration support and focuses on capture, delivery, and recovery behavior.

Supported direction

Where CockroachDB fits in the continuous path

CDC destination

Keep CockroachDB current

Confirm stable keys, compatible types, schema ownership, apply concurrency, retry policy, and the lag target that operations will measure.

Deployment checks

Test the contract around the real CockroachDB environment

Access

Can SQL Flow reach the CockroachDB interfaces and metadata required for its supported direction?

Record meaning

Do keys, before-images, large values, schema changes, and transaction boundaries match the downstream contract?

Recovery

Can checkpoints, retained history, retries, and target state survive the outage scenarios you expect?

Validate the CockroachDB CDC path before production.

Bring the engine version, hosting model, permissions, keys, workload, and recovery goals. We will identify the checks that matter for this direction.

SQL Flow handles automatically

The software does the migration work.

  • SQL Flow selects provider-aware capture, type handling, and apply behavior.
  • Supported capabilities and prerequisites are matched to the chosen database.
  • Database-specific differences are applied without rebuilding the migration.

You choose

Keep control of the decisions that matter.

  • Choose the source and target database.
  • Select among the available CDC modes.
  • Choose type mappings and target-apply policy.
