}Security notes
- The remote server runs at cockroachlabs.cloud, hosted by Cockroach Labs. You sign in with OAuth in clients that support it, and it acts with your account's permissions.
- Connect it to a development database or a read-only user first: the model can run writes and deletes if the credentials allow them.
