On: CockroachDB 1.0

[crudbug]

Yeah, I suggested "RoachDB" a while back. Which sounds more pleasant. There was a github issue for this as well.

Was about to suggest that before I saw your comment. It’s like that PostgreSQL vs Postgres naming fiasco all over again.

It’s not even the association, which I actually think is great, the name is simply a mouthful. RoachDB rolls off the tongue just so much better.

On second thought I’m not sure. Everyone will call it RoachDB for short anyway, but the full name has more impact. It shocks, which is a good thing. I was so focused on aesthetics that I didn’t even consider strategy.

They can always spin off “RoachDB” as an enterprise option, if they have any problems with selling it due to name.

Roach is the remnants of a joint for many of a certain age. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roach_(smoking)

Okay, CockDB then :)

Yeah .. "SQL" in product name is just lame. Its a culture, I always omit SQL from Postgres.
