DescriptionLight-weight Native XML DBMS with support for XQuery 3.0 and interactive GUI.CockroachDB is a distributed database architected for modern cloud applications. It is wire compatible with PostgreSQL and backed by a Key-Value Store, which is either RocksDB or a purpose-built derivative, called Pebble.All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.A multi-model DBMS and application serverExtremely fast embedded database for small devices, IoT and Mobile
