+## CockroachDB Support
+
+SeaORM supports CockroachDB via the `cockroachdb` feature flag. CockroachDB is wire-compatible with PostgreSQL, so most functionality works seamlessly.
+
+### Enabling CockroachDB Support
+
+```toml
+# Cargo.toml
+[dependencies]
+sea-orm = { version = "2.0", features = ["cockroachdb", "runtime-tokio-native-tls"] }
+```
+
+### Connecting to CockroachDB
+
+Use a standard PostgreSQL connection string:
+
+```rust
+use sea_orm::DbConn;
+
+let db: DbConn = sea_orm::Connect::connect("postgres://user:password@host:26257/database?sslmode=require")
+    .await?;
+```
+
+Or with CockroachDB specific scheme:
+
+```rust
+let db: DbConn = sea_orm::Connect::connect("cockroachdb://user:password@host:26257/database?sslmode=require")
+    .await?;
+```
+
+### Schema Generation
+
+CockroachDB doesn't support PostgreSQL's `SERIAL` pseudo-type. SeaORM automatically generates `GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY` for auto-increment columns when using CockroachDB:
+
+```sql
+-- PostgreSQL
+"id" SERIAL PRIMARY KEY
+
+-- CockroachDB (SeaORM default)
+"id" INTEGER GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY
+```
+
+### Feature Flags
+
+| Feature | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `cockroachdb` | Enable CockroachDB support |
+| `cockroachdb-use-identity-pk` | Use IDENTITY columns for primary keys |

+## Summary
+
+This PR adds CockroachDB support to SeaORM. CockroachDB is wire-compatible with PostgreSQL, so most functionality works with the existing sqlx-postgres driver.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added `cockroachdb` feature flag that enables:
+  - `DatabaseBackend::Cockroach` variant
+  - CockroachDB-specific URL scheme handling (`cockroachdb://`)
+  - Proper schema generation using IDENTITY columns (not SERIAL)
+  - Full RETURNING support
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **Wire Compatibility**: CockroachDB uses the same protocol as PostgreSQL, so we alias `CockroachQueryBuilder` to `PostgresQueryBuilder` in sea-query
+2. **IDENTITY vs SERIAL**: CockroachDB doesn't support PostgreSQL's SERIAL pseudo-type. The implementation generates `GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY` by default.
+
+## Feature Flags
+
+| Feature | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `cockroachdb` | Enable CockroachDB support |
+| `cockroachdb-use-identity-pk` | Use IDENTITY columns for primary keys |
+
+## Testing
+
+Added `tests/cockroachdb_tests.rs` with tests for:
+- Backend detection with various URL schemes
+- Schema generation using IDENTITY columns
+- Boolean value conversion
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+None - all changes are gated behind the new `cockroachdb` feature flag.
