It acts as a bridge between your Python application and a CockroachDB cluster, allowing you to use SQLAlchemy's familiar API instead of writing raw SQL or using a lower-level driver directly.\n\nThe dialect supports three different database drivers\u2014psycopg2 (and its binary variant), asyncpg, and psycopg (version 3)\u2014giving you flexibility in choosing between synchronous and asynchronous operation. You specify which driver to use in your connection string (e.g., `cockroachdb+asyncpg://...`). The package itself is a thin adapter layer; it depends only on SQLAlchemy and requires you to install your chosen driver separately.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are using SQLAlchemy 2.0.x and need CockroachDB support. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive license, and requires only one runtime dependency. The main condition is that you must install a separate database driver (psycopg2, asyncpg, or psycopg) before you can connect\u2014this is documented but represents a real prerequisite step."},"id":"sqlalchemy-cockroachdb","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-cockroachdb","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-cockroachdb.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-cockroachdb/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlalchemy-cockroachdb","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"CockroachDB dialect for SQLAlchemy"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":970968,"position":4609,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.4"}
