# CockroachDB Storage Backend
The CockroachDB storage backend is used to persist Vault's data in a
[CockroachDB][cockroachdb] server or cluster.
- **No High Availability** the CockroachDB storage backend does not support
high availability.
- **Community Supported** the CockroachDB storage backend is supported by the
community. While it has undergone development and review by HashiCorp
employees, they may not be as knowledgeable about the technology.
```hcl
storage "cockroachdb" {
connection_url = "postgres://user123:secret123!@localhost:5432/vault"
}
```
**Note** - CockroachDB is compatible with the PostgreSQL database driver and
uses that driver to interact with the database.
## `cockroachdb` Parameters
- `connection_url` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the connection string to
use to authenticate and connect to CockroachDB. A full list of supported
parameters can be found in [the pq library documentation][pglib]. For example
connection string URLs, see the examples section below.
- `table` `(string: "vault_kv_store")` Specifies the name of the table in
which to write Vault data. This table must already exist (Vault will not
attempt to create it).
- `max_parallel` `(string: "128")` Specifies the maximum number of concurrent
requests to CockroachDB.
## `cockroachdb` Examples
This example shows connecting to a PostgresSQL cluster using full SSL
verification (recommended).
```hcl
storage "cockroachdb" {
connection_url = "postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/database?sslmode=verify-full"
}
```
To disable SSL verification (not recommended), replace `verify-full` with
`disable`:
```hcl
storage "cockroachdb" {
connection_url = "postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/database?sslmode=disable"
}
```
