This repo contains the source code for a simple Hello World application, written in Python. The app uses the SQLAlchemy ORM framework to connect to an existing CockroachDB cluster.

To run the code:

1. Start a local CockroachDB cluster, or use CockroachCloud.

2. From the command line, execute the following:

   python3 main.py
   

3. Enter the connection string for the cluster.

   Note: The connection string must begin with the prefix cockroachdb and must specify the database to which to connect.

   For example, for a local, demo cluster: cockroachdb://demo:<demo_password>@127.0.0.1:26257/defaultdb?sslmode=require

   For CockroachCloud: cockroachdb://<username>:<password>@<globalhost>:26257/<cluster_name>.defaultdb?sslmode=verify-full&sslrootcert=<certs_dir>/<ca.crt>
