Research direction
Review the CONTRIBUTING.md guide on implementing SQL dialects (https://github.com/cube js/cube.js/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#implementing sql dialect). Study the example pull request (https://github.com/cube js/cube.js/pull/1099) to understand the structure of a driver implementation. Explore the existing driver implementations in the cube.js repository to model the CockroachDB driver. The driver will need to handle CockroachDB specific SQL dialect differences and may leverage the existing PostgreSQL driver as a base due to compatibility.
