In this episode, Glen is joined by Randy Knight of SQL Solutions Group — a Microsoft Certified Master with decades of experience in the SQL Server world.
Together, they dive deep into:
- The hidden pitfalls that trip up developers and accidental DBAs
- How poor query design and misunderstood features (like scalar functions) cripple performance
- Why tools like Query Store matter — and why they’re still underused
- Cloud vs. On-Prem SQL: What you really need to know about Azure, AWS, IaaS, and PaaS
- What sets SQL Server apart from Postgres and Oracle
- And the hard lessons you only learn through hands-on experience (or painful outages)
Whether you're a seasoned dev, new to SQL, or managing a growing SaaS platform — this episode will help you avoid costly mistakes and rethink how you manage data at scale.
