August 8, 2022

Console changes

  • CockroachDB Dedicated users can now choose any of the available hardware options when configuring a cluster. Previously, there were restrictions based on which storage and compute combinations were recommended for best performance.
  • In the Connect to your cluster dialog, your previous SQL user, database, and connection method selections are now cached to make it easier to re-connect to your cluster.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the SQL Activity tab for clusters running different CockroachDB versions did not always load version-appropriate UI components.
  • Fixed a bug where the Statements table on a transaction's Transaction Details page sometimes showed an incorrect number of statements.
