None of those are newsql other than MemSQL, which is an OLAP system that uses a custom rowstore format and parquet for columnstores.

In addition to CockroachDB there's also TiDB which runs on top of TiKV which uses RocksDB.

Why aren't citus, nuodb 'newsql'?

> there's also TiDB

One more example doesn't qualify the statement "most are built on rocksdb". I wasn't saying there is only one newsql db built on rocksdb.

Of the 14 examples listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewSQL

only 2 that you mentioned seem to be built on rocksdb.

I'm not disagreeing, RocksDB is not used by most. The statement in the blog post is not true.
