💡 Tip: Working with lots of different databases and don't want to accidentally drop a table in your PROD Oracle system?

PS if you've never done this, you've probably not been in IT for very long #riteOfpassage

Use emojis in your connection names 🔴 🟡 🟢

Tip 2: STAY OUT OF PRODUCTION :)

Fresh content, was a late Friday post..

Code & Tune an Oracle DB REST API w/Claude, MCP, & ORDS
I asked Claude to dev a REST API for my databse. But I didn't like the SQL. So I used my brains to fix it, update the API, & then test/compare the performance.
