Summary

  • Unlinks 292 docs pages by removing markdown hyperlinks to cockroach issues and PRs
  • Keeps #NNNNN reference text; only the hyperlinks are removed
  • Catch-all for link-only changes not covered by the more specific release notes, known limitations, advisories, or other targeted PRs

This is PR 3 of 10 splitting #23256 into reviewable chunks.

Jira: DOC-17057

Test plan

  • Verify issue/PR numbers still display correctly as plain text
  • Run local Jekyll build and spot-check affected pages across versions
  • Confirm no remaining cockroach issue/PR links in the affected files

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Unlink 292 docs pages by removing markdown hyperlinks to cockroach
issues and PRs, keeping the #NNNNN reference text. This is the
catch-all for link-only changes not covered by the more specific
release notes, known limitations, advisories, or other targeted PRs.

Part of DOC-17057.

- Replace hardcoded ../v23.1/*.html relative links with
  {% link {{ page.version.version }}/... %} tags in
  _includes/v{23.2-25.3}/backward-incompatible/alpha.1.md
  (matching the pattern already used in v24.3)
- Replace hardcoded images/v24.2/geospatial/st_union.png with
  images/{{ page.version.version }}/geospatial/st_union.png
  in st_union.md for v25.1 and v25.3

Use absolute /docs/images/ path with {{ page.version.version }} instead
of nesting {{ }} inside {{ }} (which Liquid can't evaluate).

needs a fair amount of work, please see my comments

in general, removing link targets is not sufficient. in most cases, we need to remove the entire sentences of the form "Tracking github issue", "for more information, see #xxx", etc.

CockroachDB is a [distributed SQL](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/what-is-distributed-sql/) database built on a transactional and strongly-consistent key-value store. It **scales** horizontally; **survives** disk, machine, rack, and even datacenter failures with minimal latency disruption and no manual intervention; supports **strongly-consistent** ACID transactions; and provides a familiar **SQL** API for structuring, manipulating, and querying data.

CockroachDB is inspired by Google's [Spanner](http://research.google.com/archive/spanner.html) and [F1](http://research.google.com/pubs/pub38125.html) technologies, and the [source code](https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach) is freely available.

If you have corrupted data in a database or table, [restore]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/restore.md %}) the object from a prior [backup]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/backup.md %}). If revision history is in the backup, you can restore from a [point in time]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/take-backups-with-revision-history-and-restore-from-a-point-in-time.md %}).

Instead of dropping the corrupted table or database, we recommend [renaming the table]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/alter-table.md %}#rename-to) or [renaming the database]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/alter-database.md %}#rename-to) so you have historical data to compare to later. If you drop a database, the database cannot be referenced with `AS OF SYSTEM TIME` queries (see [#51380](https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/51380) for more information), and you will need to take a backup that is backdated to the system time when the database still existed.

1. You haven't created any indexes at all yet. The query is likely to be doing full table scans, which you will need to hunt down with [`EXPLAIN`]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/explain.md %}).

### Check for constraint violations with `SCRUB`

Checks the consistency of [`UNIQUE`]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/unique.md %}) indexes, [`CHECK`]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/check.md %}) constraints, and more.

The following diagram presents the same set of schema objects as the previous outline-style diagram, but using boxes and lines joined with arrows that represent the "top-down" view.

Each box represents a schema object in the zone configuration inheritance hierarchy. Each solid line ends in an arrow that points from a parent object to its child object, which will inherit the parent's values unless those values are changed at the child level. The dotted lines between partitions and sub-partitions represent the known limitation mentioned previously that sub-partitions do not inherit their values from their parent partitions. Instead, sub-partitions inherit their values from the parent table. For more information about this limitation, see [cockroachdb/cockroach#75862](https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/75862).
