    MTAR Presents: T3D Sessions with Dr. Aaron N. Cutshall of SQLRV, LLC

    Welcome to Episode 3 of More Than a Refresh Presents: T3D SessionsCommand Prompt Founder Joshua "JD" Drake sits down with Dr. Aaron N. Cutshall, Principal Data Architect at SQLRV, LLC., to discuss the power and performance benefits of set-based processing in relational databases like PostgreSQL.With database experience dating back to the 1980s, Aaron shares why set-based thinking is disappearing from modern education, how treating a database like a file system hurts performance, and why leveraging the database engine for what it was designed to do can yield exponential speed gains.From clear analogies—like magnets for sorting ball bearings—to real-world performance comparisons, this short talk challenges developers to rethink iterative, row-by-row approaches and embrace the efficiency of set-based operations.If you work with Postgres, big data, or want to sharpen your database fundamentals, this episode is for you.Like 👍 Comment 💬 Share 🔗 Subscribe ✅ and tap the 🔔 to stay up to date with new episodes on:#PostgreSQL #Database #Performance #ProfessionalDevelopment #OpenSource #DataEngineering🎧 Listen to all More Than A Refresh episodes ⏩ https://www.commandprompt.com/about/m...Discover more from Command Prompt:✅ PostgreSQL Services ⏩ https://www.commandprompt.com/services/✅ PgManage - an Open Source GUI for PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and more ⏩ https://www.commandprompt.com/product...✅ PgLTS - Long-term support for EOL PostgreSQL ⏩ https://www.commandprompt.com/product...Connect with us:🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.commandprompt.com/linkedin🔗 Facebook: https://www.commandprompt.com/facebook🔗 Twitter/X: https://www.commandprompt.com/twitter🔗 BlueSky: https://www.commandprompt.com/bluesky📬 Contact us at https://www.commandprompt.com/contact/

    MTAR Presents: T3D Sessions with Victor Olex of SlashDB

    Welcome to Episode 2 of More Than a Refresh Presents: T3D SessionsCommand Prompt Founder Joshua "JD" Drake chats with Victor Olex, Founder and CEO of SlashDB — a platform that instantly turns databases into RESTful APIs with support for JSON, XML, CSV, and even a full HTML-based UI for exploring and querying data.They explore how SlashDB stands out in a crowded API ecosystem — including in comparison to tools like PostgREST, which expose PostgreSQL as a RESTful API — by offering a plug-and-play solution for accessing and managing data in multiple formats with no middleware coding needed. Victor also shares details about SlashDB v2.0, its new React-based front end, enhanced modularity, and connection pooling for performance at scale. If you’re working with legacy systems, SaaS transitions, or data accessibility, this short talk is for you.Learn more about SlashDB at https://slashdb.com/Like👍 Comment💬 Share🔗 Subscribe✅ and tap the 🔔 to stay up to date with new episodes on: #postgresql #api #opensource #RESTful #tech #software #database #MTAR #slashdb #t3dsessions #commandprompt   / @cmdpromptinc  🎧 Listen to all More Than A Refresh episodes ⏩ https://www.commandprompt.com/mtarAccess #Opensource & #Database Tools + other Command Prompt content on our website at https://www.commandprompt.com or below 👇👇👇Discover more from Command Prompt:✅ PostgreSQL Services ⏩ https://www.commandprompt.com/services/✅ PgManage - an Open Source GUI administrator for PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and other databases ⏩ https://www.commandprompt.com/pgmanage/✅ PgLTS - Long-term support for EOL PostgreSQL ⏩ https://www.commandprompt.com/pglts/Connect with us 👇👇👇🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.commandprompt.com/linkedin🔗 Facebook: https://www.commandprompt.com/facebook🔗 Twitter/X: https://www.commandprompt.com/twitter🔗 Bluesky: https://www.commandprompt.com/bluesky
